README.md

To start development:

1. Clone this repository to your computer
2. Open the cloned folder in VS Code
3. Open Terminal in VS Code (Terminal > New Terminal)
4. Switch to the develop branch in Terminal git checkout develop (Or switch the branch in the bottom left corner of VS Code)
5. Create a new conda environment and activate it in your local machine by conda env create -f env.yml and conda activate btcbot
6. Setting the VS Code to use the conda environment you just created (Ctrl + Shift + P > Python: Select Interpreter > btcbot)
7. Run the code in main.ipynb

Update some packages during development:

1. If you want to install some new packages, please remember to manually add them to the env.yml without any version and os dependencies. Please DON'T export it by conda env export --no-builds > env.yml because it will causes some ResolvePackageNotFound Error. For example, if you run the command pip install ipykernel then you can add a line at the bottom of the env.yml like - ipykernel.
2. If you want to deactive the conda environment, please use conda deactivate
3. If you want to delete your local conda environment, please use conda env remove -n btcbot

Git commands:

1. If you want to push your code, please use git push origin <branch-name> after using git add . and git commit -m "<your commit message>" (You need to set the origin url first)
2. If you want to pull the latest code, please use git pull origin <branch-name> (You need to set the origin url first)
3. If you want to create a new branch, please use git checkout -b <branch-name> (We use the develop branch as the default development branch, and when we finish a version, we will merge the develop branch to the main branch). Then you can push it to the github by git push origin <branch-name>.
