1 Tools for developing Git
2 ========================
8 This document gathers tips, scripts, and configuration files to help people
9 working on Git's codebase use their favorite tools while following Git's
24 === Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
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:
35 - To follow the rules in CodingGuidelines, it's useful to put the following in
36 GIT_CHECKOUT/.dir-locals.el, assuming you use cperl-mode:
38 ;; note the first part is useful for C editing, too
39 ((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)
42 (cperl-mode . ((cperl-indent-level . 8)
43 (cperl-extra-newline-before-brace . nil)
44 (cperl-merge-trailing-else . t))))
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.
