Developer Documentation¶
The developer documentation contains instructions for how to contribute to Astropy or affiliated packages, as well as coding, documentation, and testing guidelines. For the guiding vision of this process and the project as a whole, see Vision for a Common Astronomy Python Package.
There are additional tools of use for developers in the astropy/astropy-tools repository.
