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

33This is adapted from Linux's suggestion in its CodingStyle document:
34
35- To follow the rules in CodingGuidelines, it's useful to put the following in
36GIT_CHECKOUT/.dir-locals.el, assuming you use cperl-mode:
37
38----
39;; note the first part is useful for C editing, too
40((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)
41 (tab-width . 8)
42 (fill-column . 80)))
43 (cperl-mode . ((cperl-indent-level . 8)
44 (cperl-extra-newline-before-brace . nil)
45 (cperl-merge-trailing-else . t))))
46----

48For a more complete setup, since Git's codebase uses a coding style
49similar to the Linux kernel's style, tips given in Linux's CodingStyle
50document can be applied here too.
