Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up shenko for local development.

```
 Fork the shenko repo on GitHub.

 Clone your fork locally:

 $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/shenko.git

 Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

 $ mkvirtualenv shenko
 $ cd shenko/
 $ python setup.py develop

 Create a branch for local development:

 $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

 Now you can make your changes locally.

 When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

 $ flake8 shenko tests
 $ python setup.py test or py.test
 $ tox

 To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

 Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

 $ git add .
 $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
 $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

 Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
```
