Topics that will be covered:

• Version control with git
• Testing with pytest
• Writing documentation
• Formatting/linting
• Continuous Integration (CI)
• Publishing your code on the PyPI (CD)

Note that although we'll be focussing on tools for Python, this is not a Python course! You won't need any advanced Python concepts, but understanding basic syntax will be helpful.

Note

The material presented here is mostly based on my experience, but has also been inspired by this excellent guide from the Scientific Python project.
