# Contribution guidelines


## Code style

We defined to use the following formats:
- Whitespace Formatting by [Black](https://github.com/psf/black)
- Docstrings Style see the examples provided by [sphinx napoleon](https://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html) Types in the docstrings are optional but should be consistent per module.
- Import Order by [isort](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/)
- Strict Typing of function headers see the examples provided by the [mypy](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cheat_sheet_py3.html) documentation.

## Language

We decided to use english on everything close to code but will write longer texts that are not close to the code in german.
