## Coding Conventions
|
||
|
||
- Indent 4 spaces.
|
||
- Use [snake_case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case) for function
|
||
and variable names.
|
||
- Keep lines below `100` characters long.
|
||
- Use `[[ ]]` for tests.
|
||
- Double Quote **EVERYTHING**.
|
||
- Don’t use single quotes, except for special cases.
|
||
|
||
### ShellCheck
|
||
|
||
For your contribution to be accepted, your changes need to pass
|
||
ShellCheck.
|
||
|
||
Run ShellCheck with the following command:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Why do we exclude numerous tests?
|
||
# See: https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Shellcheck-Exclusions
|
||
shellcheck neofetch -e SC1090,SC2009,SC2012,SC2016,SC2034,SC2128,SC2153,SC2154,SC2178,SC2010,SC1004,SC1091,SC1117
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Note**: If you have trouble installing ShellCheck. You can open a pull
|
||
request on the repo and our Travis.ci hook will run ShellCheck for you.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### No no's
|
||
|
||
- Don’t use `echo`.
|
||
- Use `printf "%s\n"`
|
||
- Don’t use `bc`.
|
||
- Don’t use `sed`.
|
||
- Use `bash`'s built-in [parameter expansion](http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pe).
|
||
- Don’t use `cat`.
|
||
- Use `bash`'s built-in syntax (`file="$(< /path/to/file.txt)")`).
|
||
- Don’t use `grep "pattern" | awk '{ printf }'`.
|
||
- Use `awk '/pattern/ { printf }'`
|
||
|
||
|
||
### If Statements
|
||
|
||
If the test only has one command inside of it; use the compact test
|
||
syntax. Otherwise the normal `if`/`fi` is just fine.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Bad
|
||
if [[ "$var" ]]; then
|
||
printf "%s\n" "$var"
|
||
fi
|
||
|
||
# Good
|
||
[[ "$var" ]] && printf "%s\n" "$var"
|
||
|
||
# Also good (Use this for longer lines).
|
||
[[ "$var" ]] && \
|
||
printf "%s\n" "$var"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Case Statements
|
||
|
||
Case statements need to be formatted in a specific way.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Good example (Notice the indentation).
|
||
case "$var" in
|
||
1) printf "%s\n" 1 ;;
|
||
2)
|
||
printf "%s\n" "1"
|
||
printf "%s\n" "2"
|
||
;;
|
||
|
||
*)
|
||
printf "%s\n" "1"
|
||
printf "%s\n" "2"
|
||
printf "%s\n" "3"
|
||
;;
|
||
esac
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Making changes to Neofetch
|
||
|
||
### Adding support for a new Operating System / Distribution.
|
||
|
||
Adding support for a new OS/Distro requires adding the Name, Logo and
|
||
Colors of the OS/Distro to the `get_distro_ascii()` function.
|
||
|
||
The function is located right at the bottom of the script, one function
|
||
above `main()`. Inside this function you’ll find an alphabetical list of
|
||
each OS/Distro.
|
||
|
||
Find the spot in the list your new OS/Distro fits into and start
|
||
implementing your changes.
|
||
|
||
If your OS/Distro requires changes to the actual information gathering
|
||
functions then you can make these changes in the `get_*` functions.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**:
|
||
|
||
- You have to escape back-slashes (`\`). (eg `\\`)
|
||
- You can use `${c1}` to `${c6}`to color the ascii.
|
||
- These are evaluated *after* we read the file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Example**:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
"CRUX"*)
|
||
set_colors 4 5 7 6
|
||
read -rd '' ascii_data <<'EOF'

||
