+# Contributing to cmweather
+
+Contributions are highly welcomed and appreciated. Every little help counts,
+so do not hesitate!
+
+The following sections cover some general guidelines
+regarding development in cmweather for maintainers and contributors.
+Nothing here is set in stone and can't be changed.
+Feel free to suggest improvements or changes in the workflow.
+

+
+## Feature requests and feedback
+
+Do you like cmweather? Share some love on Twitter or in your blog posts!
+
+We'd also like to hear about your propositions and suggestions. Feel free to
+[submit them as issues](https://github.com/openradar/cmweather) and:
+
+- Explain in detail how they should work.
+- Keep the scope as narrow as possible. This will make it easier to implement.
+
+(reportbugs)=
+
+## Report bugs
+
+Report bugs for cmweather in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/openradar/cmweather).
+
+If you are reporting a bug, please include:
+
+- Your operating system name and version.
+- Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting,
+  specifically the Python interpreter version, installed libraries, and cmweather
+  version.
+- Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.
+
+If you can write a demonstration test that currently fails but should pass
+(xfail), that is a very useful commit to make as well, even if you cannot
+fix the bug itself.
+
+(fixbugs)=
+
+## Fix bugs
+
+Look through the [GitHub issues for bugs](https://github.com/openradar/cmweather/labels/type:%20bug).
+
+Talk to developers to find out how you can fix specific bugs.
+
+## Write documentation
+
+cmweather could always use more documentation. What exactly is needed?
+
+- More complementary documentation. Have you perhaps found something unclear?
+- Docstrings. There can never be too many of them.
+- Blog posts, articles and such -- they're all very appreciated.
+
+You can also edit documentation files directly in the GitHub web interface,
+without using a local copy. This can be convenient for small fixes.
+
+:::{note}
+
+> Build the documentation locally with the following command:
+>
+> ```bash
+> $ conda env update -f ci/environment.yml
+> $ cd docs
+> $ make html
+> ```
+>
+> The built documentation should be available in the `docs/_build/`.

+
+## Preparing Pull Requests
+
+1. Fork the
+   [cmweather GitHub repository](https://github.com/openradar/cmweather). It's
+   fine to use `cmweather` as your fork repository name because it will live
+   under your user.
+
+2. Clone your fork locally using [git](https://git-scm.com/) and create a branch:
+
+   ```
+   $ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/cmweather.git
+   $ cd cmweather
+   # now, to fix a bug or add feature create your own branch off "master":
+
+   $ git checkout -b your-bugfix-feature-branch-name master
+   ```
+
+3. Install [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) and its hook on the cmweather repo:
+
+   ```
+   $ pip install --user pre-commit
+   $ pre-commit install
+   ```
+
+   Afterwards `pre-commit` will run whenever you commit.
+
+   <https://pre-commit.com/> is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks
+   to ensure code-style and code formatting is consistent.
+
+4. Install dependencies into a new conda environment:
+
+   ```
+   $ conda env update -f ci/environment.yml
+   ```
+
+5. Run all the tests
+
+   Now running tests is as simple as issuing this command:
+
+   ```
+   $ conda activate sandbox-devel
+   $ pytest --junitxml=test-reports/junit.xml --cov=./ --verbose
+   ```
+
+   This command will run tests via the "pytest" tool against the latest Python version.
+
+6. You can now edit your local working copy and run the tests again as necessary. Please follow PEP-8 for naming.
+
+   When committing, `pre-commit` will re-format the files if necessary.
+
+7. Commit and push once your tests pass and you are happy with your change(s):
+
+   ```
+   $ git commit -a -m "<commit message>"
+   $ git push -u
+   ```
+
+8. Finally, submit a pull request through the GitHub website using this data:
+
+   ```
+   head-fork: YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/cmweather
+   compare: your-branch-name
+
+   base-fork: openradar/cmweather
+   base: master
+   ```

+
+## Motivation
+
+The motivation for this package is to contain weather maps relevant to the weather and climate community. There are **many** colormaps that are unique to the weather/climate community that are not included in core libraries such as [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/). This is also meant to be a community collaboration, across multiple domain-specific packages (ex. MetPy, GeoCAT, Py-ART). It is lightweight, easy to install, and we encourage contributions from across the community!
+
+While not all of the colormaps are color vision deficiency (CVD) friendly, we do include CVD friendly colormaps, and encourage users to use these when possible.
+
+## Installation
+
+cmweather can be found on both PyPI and conda-forge, installable using
+
+```bash
+mamba install cmweather
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+pip install cmweather
+```
+
+### Development Installation
+
+For a development install, do the following in the repository directory:
+
+```bash
+conda env update -f ci/environment.yml
+conda activate cmweather-dev
+python -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+Also, please install `pre-commit` hooks from the root directory of the created project by running:
+
+```
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+These code style pre-commit hooks (black, isort, flake8, ...) will run every time you are about to commit code.

+# Usage
+
+## Installing cmweather
+
+cmweather can be installed in three ways:
+
+```{eval-rst}
+
+.. tab-set::
+
+    .. tab-item:: conda
+
+        Using the `conda <https://conda.io/>`__ package manager that comes with the
+        Anaconda/Miniconda/Mamba distribution:
+
+        .. code:: bash
+
+            $ mamba install cmweather --channel conda-forge
+
+    .. tab-item:: pip
+
+        Using the `pip <https://pypi.org/project/pip/>`__ package manager:
+
+        .. code:: bash
+
+            $ python -m pip install cmweather
+
+    .. tab-item:: Development version
+
+        To install a development version from source:
+
+        .. code:: bash
+
+            $ git clone https://github.com/openradar/cmweather
+            $ cd cmweather
+            $ python -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Use cmweather In Your Scripts/Notebooks
+
+You can use **cmweather** colormaps as you would use **matplotlib** colormaps in your workflow.
+
+The first step is to import cmweather.
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+import cmweather
+
+```
+
+### RECOMMENDED: Try out a Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) Friendly Colormaps
+
+It is recommended you try one of the CVD-friendly colormaps included in cmweather, such as ChaseSpectral
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+import cmweather
+import numpy as np
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+# Create some synthetic data
+x = np.arange(1, 100)
+y = np.arange(1, 100, .5)
+x_2d, y_2d = np.meshgrid(x, y)
+temps = (x_2d + y_2d)/2
+
+# Plot our data and add a colorbar
+color = plt.pcolormesh(temps, cmap='ChaseSpectral')
+plt.colorbar(color);
+```
+
+### Using "Traditional" Colormaps
+
+We can also use other colormaps such as the National Weather Service (NWS) Reflectivity (`NWSRef`) colormap with our plot
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+import cmweather
+import numpy as np
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+# Create some synthetic data
+x = np.arange(1, 100)
+y = np.arange(1, 100, .5)
+x_2d, y_2d = np.meshgrid(x, y)
+temps = (x_2d + y_2d)/2
+
+# Plot our data and add a colorbar
+color = plt.pcolormesh(temps, cmap='NWSRef')
+plt.colorbar(color);
+```
+
+A full list of colormaps can be found in the [Reference](api.md) section of the docs
