batch file, for example: `run-tests test/test_c_flag_parsing.vader` . This will
give you results much more quickly.

5. Contributing *ale-development-contributing*
All integration of new code into ALE is done through GitHub pull requests.
Using that tool streamlines the process and minimizes the time and effort
required to e.g. ensure test suites are run for every change.
As for any project hosted by GitHub, the choice of platform demands every
contributor to take care to setup an account and configure it accordingly.
Due to details of our process, a difference to many other GitHub hosted
projects is that contributors who wish to keep the author fields for their
commits unaltered need to configure a public email address in their account
and profile settings. See: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/
Unless configuring GitHub to expose contact details, commits will be rewritten
to appear by `USERNAME <RANDOM_NUMBER+USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com>` .
