Development workflow and aliases
Someone asked me in slack so I figured I’d post some tricks that I use here, would love to hear the tricks of others! What follows is unofficial, opinionated, and maybe not even best practice.aliases to add to .zshrc (use oh-my-zsh it’s dope)!install_pl_dev() {

}Misc-tips:fork, called that directory transformers_fork, and clone it to$HOME/on every machine.use pip install -e .[“dev”]  to keep up to date with dependency changes (isort, tokenizers mostly)every time you start a VM I put my dotfiles up there, either with scp or git. I use git for dotfiles and scp for ~/.ssh/When i want to update a branch, I usually run:git checkout master
gsync  # fetch upstream, merge upstream/master
git checkout <branch>
git merge masterIf there are merge conflicts, I fix them in my IDE (vscode is nice, or pycharm cmd-k). I don’t trust git very much with this. The more you run this, the simpler it is to resolve merge conflicts.Test Driven Development(my version)I runtexamples -k finetunea lot also and try to keep it always green if I am working on examples/seq2seq. mostly on my mac but also on my VM.I also runsty, my make style, isort, flake8 alias, all the time.When I am updating bart, or adding a new model. I write the tests first and then try to get them green one by one. Same with new feature. Test first, add feature.  This often includes adding a new check to an existing check.I set tons of ipdb breakpoints for debugging hard things.

Thanks@sshleiferWhat’s going on with your install of lightning, though? Shouldn’t it just be…install_pl_dev() {
   pip uninstall typing
   pip install -U git+https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning.git
   pip install typing
}Also,texamples -k finetuneis
