# clang-format doesn't dictate the project's code style and can mess up a
# couple edge cases. However it comes quite close and can be used for fixing
# most style issues automatically on new changes via `git-clang-format`.

Code Style
----------
`nsxiv` mostly follows the [suckless code-style][sl], with a few exceptions.
If your editor supports [.editorconfig](../.editorconfig) then you'll already be
off to a good start without needing much manual intervention. Additionally we
provide a [clang-format](./.clang-format) configuration for reference, which you
may use via [`git-clang-format`][cf] to format the changes you've made (please
do not run it globally on the entire code-base since clang-format gets a decent
amount of edge cases wrong).
