# Development

This section outlines the steps for contributing to or building the `pyETA-toolbox` from source.

### Clone the Repository

To begin development, clone the repository from GitHub:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/VinayIN/pyETA-toolbox.git
cd pyETA-toolbox
```

Change the branch from `main`  to another `branch-xyz` 

### Changing the Version in `pyproject.toml`

To update the package version:

1. Open the `pyproject.toml` file in the project root and change the version:

<pre class="language-toml"><code class="lang-toml"><strong>name = "pyeta-toolbox"
</strong>version = "&#x3C;new-version>"  # e.g., "0.0.9dev"
</code></pre>

2. Install the `pyETA` package as editable

```bash
pip install -e .
```

3. make your changes and test the application. Steps are the same as [launching the application](/pyeta/getting-started/launching-the-application.md)

### Creating a Package with Poetry

To build a distributable package:

1. Install Poetry if not already installed:

   ```bash
   pip install poetry
   ```
2. Build the package:

   ```bash
   poetry build
   ```

   This generates `.whl` and `.tar.gz` files in the `dist/` directory.

### Reporting Issues

If you encounter problems, report them on the issue tracker: <https://github.com/VinayIN/pyETA-toolbox/issues> and include any errors and logs in your report.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vinayin.gitbook.io/pyeta/getting-started/development.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
