Code of Conduct

Please read the alphagov CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md before contributing.

Conventions to follow

Indentation and whitespace

2-space, soft-tabs only. No trailing whitespace. The repository contains an .editorconfig file to enforce this if your editor supports this.

Coding style

We follow the style conventions detailed in the GDS Way.

Commit hygiene

Please see our Git style guide in the 'How to store source code' page of the GDS Way, which describes how we prefer Git history and commit messages to read.
