# Contributing guidelines
## How to become a contributor and submit your own code
### Environment setup
It is recommended to use filter to manage the GitHub email notification, see [examples for setting filters to Kubernetes Github notifications](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/best-practices.md#examples-for-setting-filters-to-kubernetes-github-notifications)
To install development dependencies you can set up a python virtual env with the necessary dependencies:
```ShellSession
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
```
#### Linting
Kubespray uses [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) hook configuration to run several linters, please install this tool and use it to run validation tests before submitting a PR.
```ShellSession
pre-commit install
pre-commit run -a # To run pre-commit hook on all files in the repository, even if they were not modified
```
#### Molecule
[molecule](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule) is designed to help the development and testing of Ansible roles. In Kubespray you can run it all for all roles with `./tests/scripts/molecule_run.sh` or for a specific role (that you are working with) with `molecule test` from the role directory (`cd roles/my-role`).
When developing or debugging a role it can be useful to run `molecule create` and `molecule converge` separately. Then you can use `molecule login` to SSH into the test environment.
#### Vagrant
Vagrant with VirtualBox or libvirt driver helps you to quickly spin test clusters to test things end to end. See [README.md#vagrant](README.md)
