Doc: how to make changes to libasr · Issue #2849 · lcompilers/lpython · GitHub

Here is documentation how to make changes to libasr. This should be moved to README and our documentation.

To make changes to the libasr/src/libasr directory, simply make changes there and ensure things work locally. Then:

cd libasr
git checkout -b myfix
git add -u # and other files as needed
git commit
git push mylfortran myfix # Where mylfortran is your fork of LFortran, for example git@github.com:certik/lfortran.git.
Click on the link in the terminal to create a PR against LFortran
cd ..
git checkout -b myfix2
git add libasr # and other files from LPython as needed
git commit
git push mylpython myfix2

The step 9. updates libasr to a new hash, and the step 5. is what allows GitHub to see it, so that everything works at the CI.
