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

| === Visual Studio Code (VS Code) |
| |
| The contrib/vscode/init.sh script creates configuration files that enable |
| several valuable VS Code features. See contrib/vscode/README.md for more |
| information on using the script. |
| |
| [[emacs]] |
| === Emacs |
| |
| This is adapted from Linux's suggestion in its CodingStyle document: |
| |
| - To follow rules of the CodingGuideline, it's useful to put the following in |
| GIT_CHECKOUT/.dir-locals.el, assuming you use cperl-mode: |
| ---- |
| ;; note the first part is useful for C editing, too |
| ((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t) |
| (tab-width . 8) |
| (fill-column . 80))) |
| (cperl-mode . ((cperl-indent-level . 8) |
| (cperl-extra-newline-before-brace . nil) |
| (cperl-merge-trailing-else . t)))) |
| ---- |
| |
| For a more complete setup, since Git's codebase uses a coding style |
| similar to the Linux kernel's style, tips given in Linux's CodingStyle |
| document can be applied here too. |
