## Quickstart

```sh

python -m pip install eth-abi

```

## Developer Setup

If you would like to hack on eth-abi, please check out the [Snake Charmers

Tactical Manual](https://github.com/ethereum/snake-charmers-tactical-manual)

for information on how we do:

- Testing

- Pull Requests

- Documentation

We use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) to maintain consistent code style. Once

installed, it will run automatically with every commit. You can also run it manually

with `make lint`. If you need to make a commit that skips the `pre-commit` checks, you

can do so with `git commit --no-verify`.

### Development Environment Setup

You can set up your dev environment with:

```sh

git clone [email protected]:ethereum/eth-abi.git

cd eth-abi

virtualenv -p python3 venv

. venv/bin/activate

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

pre-commit install

```

### Release setup

To release a new version:

```sh

make release bump=$$VERSION_PART_TO_BUMP$$

```

#### How to bumpversion

The version format for this repo is `{major}.{minor}.{patch}` for stable, and

`{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{stage}.{devnum}` for unstable (`stage` can be alpha or beta).

To issue the next version in line, specify which part to bump,

like `make release bump=minor` or `make release bump=devnum`. This is typically done from the

main branch, except when releasing a beta (in which case the beta is released from main,

and the previous stable branch is released from said branch).

If you are in a beta version, `make release bump=stage` will switch to a stable.

To issue an unstable version when the current version is stable, specify the

new version explicitly, like `make release bump="--new-version 4.0.0-alpha.1 devnum"`
