# 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.
## Styling and formatting
Code is formatted using luacheck, and linted using stylua.
You can install these with:
```bash
luarocks install luacheck
cargo install stylua
```
You can setup the git hooks by running `scripts/setup-hooks.sh`.
## 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 the `scripts/update-help.sh`.
## Documentation
When adding new options, you should declare the defaults in the main `nvim-tree.lua` file.
Once you did, you should run the `scripts/update-help.sh`.
Documentation for options should also be added to `nvim-tree-opts` in `doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt`
