set up pre-commit yourself. First, create a Python :ref:`environment
<contributing_environment>` and then set up :ref:`pre-commit <contributing.pre-commit>`.

Delete your merged branch (optional)
------------------------------------

Once your feature branch is accepted into upstream, you'll probably want to get rid of
the branch. First, merge upstream main into your branch so git knows it is safe to
delete your branch::

git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main

Then you can do::

git branch -d shiny-new-feature

Make sure you use a lower-case ``-d``, or else git won't warn you if your feature
branch has not actually been merged.

The branch will still exist on GitHub, so to delete it there do::

git push origin --delete shiny-new-feature
