Development¶

The code is hosted on GitHub: ecmwf/earthkit-climate

Environment¶

This project uses Pixi for dependency and environment management. It provides fast, reproducible environments and replaces Conda-based workflows.

Install Pixi following the official instructions, then run:

pixi install

This command installs all dependencies as defined in pyproject.toml and pixi.lock.

Warning

We are not yet commited to maintaining a Pixi configuration long-term.

This project uses pixi tasks to manage development workflows, replacing the legacy Makefile.

Quality Assurance: Run pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality.
```
pixi run qa
```
Unit Tests: Run the test suite using pytest.
```
pixi run unit-tests
```
Type Checking: Run static type analysis with mypy.
```
pixi run type-check
```
Build Documentation: Build the Sphinx documentation. Note that this task runs in the docs environment.
