## 🔧 Step-by-Step Setup

### 1. Create Project Directory

```bash
mkdir cosmicexcuse
cd cosmicexcuse
```

### 2. Initialize Git Repository

```bash
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/shamspias/cosmicexcuse.git
```

### 3. Create Virtual Environment

```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
```

### 4. Create Missing Files

#### `.gitignore`

```gitignore
# Python
__pycache__/
*.py[cod]
*$py.class
*.so
.Python
env/
venv/
ENV/
build/
develop-eggs/
dist/
downloads/

#### `requirements.txt`

```
# No external dependencies for core package!
```

#### `requirements-dev.txt`

```

sphinx>=4.0.0
sphinx-rtd-theme>=1.0.0
twine>=4.0.0
wheel>=0.37.0
setuptools>=60.0.0
```

### 5. Create Package Structure

```bash
# Create directories
mkdir -p cosmicexcuse/data/en
mkdir -p cosmicexcuse/data/bn
mkdir -p tests
mkdir -p examples
mkdir -p docs

# Create __init__.py files
touch cosmicexcuse/__init__.py
touch cosmicexcuse/data/__init__.py
touch tests/__init__.py

# Copy all the provided code files to their locations
```

### 6. Create Bengali Data Files (Copy Structure)

Create similar JSON files in `cosmicexcuse/data/bn/` with Bengali translations.

### 7. Install Development Dependencies

```bash
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```

### 8. Run Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
pytest

# With coverage
pytest --cov=cosmicexcuse --cov-report=html

# Run specific test
pytest tests/test_generator.py -v
```

### 9. Format Code

```bash
# Format with black
black cosmicexcuse/ tests/

# Check with flake8
flake8 cosmicexcuse/ tests/

# Type checking with mypy
mypy cosmicexcuse/
```

## 📦 Publishing to PyPI

### 1. Create PyPI Account

1. Go to https://pypi.org/account/register/
2. Create account and verify email
3. Generate API token: https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/

### 2. Configure PyPI Credentials

Create `~/.pypirc`:

```ini
[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    testpypi

[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR-TOKEN-HERE

[testpypi]
repository = https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR-TEST-TOKEN-HERE
```

### 3. Build Package

```bash
# Clean previous builds
rm -rf build/ dist/ *.egg-info

# Build distribution packages
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

# Or using build (modern way)
pip install build
python -m build
```

### 4. Test on TestPyPI First

```bash
# Upload to TestPyPI
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Test installation from TestPyPI
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ cosmicexcuse
```

### 5. Publish to PyPI

```bash
# Upload to PyPI
twine upload dist/*

# Verify installation
pip install cosmicexcuse
```

## 🎯 Usage After Installation

```python
# Quick start
from cosmicexcuse import CosmicExcuse

generator = CosmicExcuse()
excuse = generator.generate("Database connection failed")
print(excuse.text)
```

```bash
# Command line
cosmicexcuse --error "Segmentation fault"
cosmicexcuse --haiku
cosmicexcuse --language bn --count 5
```

## 🧪 Development Workflow

### 1. Create Feature Branch

```bash
git checkout -b feature/new-excuse-category
```

### 2. Make Changes

```bash
# Add new data file
echo '{"excuses": [...]}' > cosmicexcuse/data/en/new_category.json

# Update code
# Run tests
pytest
```

### 3. Commit and Push

```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Add new excuse category"
git push origin feature/new-excuse-category
```

### 4. Create Pull Request

- Go to GitHub
- Create PR from feature branch
- Merge after review

## 📊 GitHub Actions CI/CD

Create `.github/workflows/python-package.yml`:

```yaml
name: Python Package

  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

      matrix:
        python-version: [ 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, '3.10', 3.11 ]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
          pip install -e .

      - name: Lint with flake8
        run: |
          flake8 cosmicexcuse tests

      - name: Test with pytest
        run: |
          pytest --cov=cosmicexcuse --cov-report=xml

      - name: Upload coverage to Codecov
