| 8 | This document gathers tips, scripts and configuration file to help people |
| 9 | working on Git's codebase use their favorite tools while following Git's |
| 10 | coding style. |

| 26 | The contrib/vscode/init.sh script creates configuration files that enable |
| 27 | several valuable VS Code features. See contrib/vscode/README.md for more |
| 28 | information on using the script. |

| 33 | This is adapted from Linux's suggestion in its CodingStyle document: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - To follow rules of the CodingGuideline, it's useful to put the following in |
| 36 | GIT_CHECKOUT/.dir-locals.el, assuming you use cperl-mode: |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | ;; note the first part is useful for C editing, too |
| 39 | ((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t) |
| 40 | (tab-width . 8) |
| 41 | (fill-column . 80))) |
| 42 | (cperl-mode . ((cperl-indent-level . 8) |
| 43 | (cperl-extra-newline-before-brace . nil) |
| 44 | (cperl-merge-trailing-else . t)))) |
| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | |
| 47 | For a more complete setup, since Git's codebase uses a coding style |
| 48 | similar to the Linux kernel's style, tips given in Linux's CodingStyle |
| 49 | document can be applied here too. |
