# Contributing to faster-whisper

Contributions are welcome! Here are some pointers to help you install the library for development and validate your changes before submitting a pull request.

## Install the library for development

We recommend installing the module in editable mode with the `dev` extra requirements:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper.git
cd faster-whisper/
pip install -e .[dev]
```

## Validate the changes before creating a pull request

1. Make sure the existing tests are still passing (and consider adding new tests as well!):

```bash
pytest tests/
```

2. Reformat and validate the code with the following tools:

```bash
black .
isort .
flake8 .
```

These steps are also run automatically in the CI when you open the pull request.
