Hi,

I would like to ask if there is any documentation what steps needs to be made to build a newly created compas package on GitHub?

At the moment I am not linking any specific 3rd party libraries, just set-up a completely new compas package using cookie-cutter and made a new environment.

Any reference how GitHub workflows works and how to solve this “missing compas” error would be much appreciated. Before I was copying from other repositories, but is not quite clear what is happening where considering compas GitHub workflows.

hi petras,

as far as i can tell, adding `compas` to `requirements.txt` should help.  
and, yes, proper instructions are clearly missing…

best,
