Prepare your environment
========================
We assume that you use Linux as a work environment (you can use a virtual machine as well) and have ``git`` installed.
1. :ref:`Install Ansible <installation_guide>` or ansible-core.
2. Create the following directories in your home directory:
.. code:: bash
mkdir -p ~/ansible_collections/NAMESPACE/COLLECTION_NAME
For example, if the collection is ``community.general``:
.. code:: bash
mkdir -p ~/ansible_collections/community/general
If the collection is ``ansible.posix``:
.. code:: bash
mkdir -p ~/ansible_collections/ansible/posix
3. Clone the forked repository from the author profile to the created path:
.. code:: bash
git clone https://github.com/AUTHOR_ACC/COLLECTION_REPO.git ~/ansible_collections/NAMESPACE/COLLECTION_NAME
4. Go to the cloned repository.
.. code:: bash
cd ~/ansible_collections/NAMESPACE/COLLECTION_NAME
5. Checkout the PR branch (it can be retrieved from the PR's page):
.. code:: bash
git checkout pr_branch
Test the Pull Request
=====================
1. Include `~/ansible_collections` in `COLLECTIONS_PATHS`. See :ref:`COLLECTIONS_PATHS` for details.
2. Run your playbook using the PR branch and verify the PR fixed the bug.
3. Give feedback on the pull request or the linked issue(s).
