Development Notes
- We're using the PEP8 formatting standard to make sure our code is all nice and tidy
- Keep commit titles short, but feel free to add longer descriptions (in PyCharm enter two new lines below title for description)
- When committing some work related to an issue, reference the issue in the commit title as '#X', where X is the issue number
- Look at the issues page often. The issues are prioritised and will help keep track of development. Don't start impulsively developing a brand new feature before planning and discussing it with the team
- Make sure you pull the latest changes ('Update' in PyCharm) regularly, especially before committing - otherwise you'll have to merge before you push to master and it'll add merge commits bla bla bla
- If you're unsure of anything to do with development or the true meaning of life, ask James
