Reporting issues
----------------
- Describe what you expected to happen.
- If possible, include a `minimal reproducible example`_ to help us
identify the issue. This also helps check that the issue is not with
your own code.
- Describe what actually happened. Include the full traceback if there was an
exception.
- List your Python, Flask, and Werkzeug versions. If possible, check if this
issue is already fixed in the repository.

Submitting patches
------------------
- Use `Black`_ to autoformat your code. This should be done for you as a
git `pre-commit`_ hook, which gets installed when you run ``pip install -e .[dev]``.
You may also wish to use Black's `Editor integration`_.
- Include tests if your patch is supposed to solve a bug, and explain
clearly under which circumstances the bug happens. Make sure the test fails
without your patch.
- Include a string like "Fixes #123" in your commit message
(where 123 is the issue you fixed).

the full suite when you submit your pull request.
The full test suite takes a long time to run because it tests multiple
combinations of Python and dependencies. If you don't have a Python
version installed, it will be skipped with a warning message at the end.

Caution: zero-padded file modes
-------------------------------
This repository contains several zero-padded file modes that may cause issues
when pushing this repository to git hosts other than GitHub. Fixing this is
destructive to the commit history, so we suggest ignoring these warnings. If it
fails to push and you're using a self-hosted git service like GitLab, you can
turn off repository checks in the admin panel.
