#### Quickly setup and test Snapcraft pull requests

This snap is used to test and evaluate individual pull requests for Snapcraft. It's essentially a light wrapper around git and Python virtual environments, simplifying a repetitive task of fetching pull requests and setting up venvs to use them.

So you have a pull request you'd like to test. When you visit the pull request, you'll notice that each one has an ID (for example, #2120). Use that ID to fetch the pull request and setup a virtual environment:

```
 $ snapcraft-pr.init <id>
```

Now you're ready to run that pull request's Snapcraft:

```
 $ snapcraft-pr <id> <typical snapcraft args>
```

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install snapcraft-pr

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
