# Microtask 6:

• Task: Create a Python script to execute Graal via its Python interface using the CoCom and CoLic backends. Feel free to select any target repository, for instance the GitHub repository hosting Toolkit.
• The scripts and installation steps can be found here

---

# Microtask 7:

• Task: Based on the JSON documents produced by Graal and its source code, try to answer the following questions:

  • Which are the common methods of the Graal backends?
  • List and explain at least 2 Git commands used by Graal (and not implemented in Perceval).

• Answers to the above questions can be found here

# Microtask 8:

• Task: Create a Python script to execute flake8 for a given commit of any Git repository. Given a commit SHA and a Git repository, the script should clone the repository (if it doesn't exist locally), perform a checkout based on the commit SHA and execute flake8 on that checkout. The script should return a message that either lists the errors found or "OK" if flake8 successfully ended.

• The script can be found here

---

# Microtask 9:

• Task: Submit at least a PR to one of the GrimoireLab repositories to fix an issue, improve the documentation, etc.

• I've produced 5 pull requests until this point.

• Information related to each pull request can be found here
