 # DEVELOPER INSTRUCTIONS

+Most users do not need to build yt-dlp and can [download the builds](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases), get them via [the other installation methods](README.md#installation) or directly run it using `python -m yt_dlp`.
 
-To run yt-dlp as a developer, you don't need to build anything either. Simply execute
+`yt-dlp` uses [`hatch`](<https://hatch.pypa.io>) as a project management tool.
+You can easily install it using [`pipx`](<https://pipx.pypa.io>) via `pipx install hatch`, or else via `pip` or your package manager of choice. Make sure you are using at least version `1.10.0`, otherwise some functionality might not work as expected.
 
-    python -m yt_dlp
+If you plan on contributing to `yt-dlp`, best practice is to start by running the following command:
 
-To run the test, simply invoke your favorite test runner, or execute a test file directly; any of the following work:
+```shell
+$ hatch run setup
+```
 
-    python -m unittest discover
+The above command will install a `pre-commit` hook so that required checks/fixes (linting, formatting) will run automatically before each commit. If any code needs to be linted or formatted, then the commit will be blocked and the necessary changes will be made; you should review all edits and re-commit the fixed version.
-    python test/test_download.py
+
-    nosetests
+After this you can use `hatch shell` to enable a virtual environment that has `yt-dlp` and its development dependencies installed.
-    pytest
+
+In addition, the following script commands can be used to run simple tasks such as linting or testing (without having to run `hatch shell` first):
+* `hatch fmt`: Automatically fix linter violations and apply required code formatting changes
+    * See `hatch fmt --help` for more info
+* `hatch test`: Run extractor or core tests
+    * See `hatch test --help` for more info
 
 See item 6 of [new extractor tutorial](#adding-support-for-a-new-site) for how to run extractor specific test cases.
 
+While it is strongly recommended to use `hatch` for yt-dlp development, if you are unable to do so, alternatively you can manually create a virtual environment and use the following commands:
+
+```shell
+# To only install development dependencies:
+$ python -m devscripts.install_deps --include dev
+
+# Or, for an editable install plus dev dependencies:
+$ python -m pip install -e ".[default,dev]"
+
+# To setup the pre-commit hook:
+$ pre-commit install
+
+# To be used in place of `hatch test`:
+$ python -m devscripts.run_tests
+
+# To be used in place of `hatch fmt`:
+$ ruff check --fix .
+$ autopep8 --in-place .
+
+# To only check code instead of applying fixes:
+$ ruff check .
+$ autopep8 --diff .
+```
+
 If you want to create a build of yt-dlp yourself, you can follow the instructions [here](README.md#compile).
 
 
 ## Adding new feature or making overarching changes
 
-Before you start writing code for implementing a new feature, open an issue explaining your feature request and atleast one use case. This allows the maintainers to decide whether such a feature is desired for the project in the first place, and will provide an avenue to discuss some implementation details. If you open a pull request for a new feature without discussing with us first, do not be surprised when we ask for large changes to the code, or even reject it outright.
