# Contributing to `nvim-tree.lua`
Thank you for contributing.
See [Development](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Development) for environment setup, tips and tools.
# Tools
Following are used during CI and strongly recommended during local development.
Lint: [luacheck](https://github.com/lunarmodules/luacheck/)
Style: [stylua]
Language server: [luals](https://luals.github.io)
You can install them via you OS package manager e.g. `pacman`, `brew` or other via other package managers such as `cargo` or `luarocks`
# Quality
The following quality checks are mandatory and are performed during CI. They run on the entire `lua` directory` return 1 on any failure.
You can run them all via `make` or `make all`
You can setup the git hooks by running `scripts/setup-hooks.sh`
## lint
```sh
make lint
```
1. Runs luacheck quietly using `.luacheck` settings
1. Runs `scripts/doc-comments.sh` to validate annotated documentation
## style
Runs stylua using `.stylua.toml` settings:
```sh
make style
```
You can automatically fix style issues via:
```sh
make style-fix
```
## check
Runs the checks that the LSP lua language server runs inside nvim using `.luarc.json`
```sh
make check
```
Assumes `$VIMRUNTIME` is `/usr/share/nvim/runtime`. Adjust as necessary e.g.
```sh
VIMRUNTIME="/my/path/to/runtime" make check
```
# Adding New Actions
To add a new action, add a file in `actions/name-of-the-action.lua`. You should export a `setup` function if some configuration is needed.
Once you did, you should run `make help-update`
# Documentation
When adding new options, you should declare the defaults in the main `nvim-tree.lua` file.
Documentation for options should also be added to `nvim-tree-opts` in `doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt`
# Pull Request
Please reference any issues in the description e.g. "resolves #1234".
Please check "allow edits by maintainers" to allow nvim-tree developers to make small changes such as documentation tweaks.
A test case to reproduce the issue is required. A ["Clean Room" Replication](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Troubleshooting#clean-room-replication) is preferred.
