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.
This is adapted from Linux’s suggestion in its CodingStyle document:
-
To follow the rules in CodingGuidelines, 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.
