Hello! 

 I am Joseph Jeffers and I have been interested in working on and contributing to Project Atomic, specifically I have been looking at the 'atomic' program itself. I have never really done operating system or core app development (one of the reasons I have been trying to get involved with this project!).

I already have the VM running and such, but I am having issues figuring out how to set up the development workflow and how do you test changes that you make to the code? Specifically, are the tests designed to be run on another system or the atomic host itself, and what is the canonical procedure for running them?

Thanks for any pointers!

Awesome great to hear from you.  First off you need to separate out the "atomic CLI" from the atomic host.  Atomic CLI can run on any distribution including atomic host, Fedora, Centos, RHEL.

We do most of the development on "atomic cli" up on https://github.com/projectatomic/atomic.

Take a look at issues and pull requests to see if you could comment of verify some issues there.  We are always looking for people to contribute.  Currently we have effort going into make atomic_dbus work better, integration between atomic and skopeo for pulling and verifying images. Adding support for atomic ps. etc.
