# 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.
# Quality
The following quality checks are mandatory and are performed during CI:
## Styling and formatting
Code is formatted using luacheck, and linted using stylua.
You may install these via your package manager or with:
```bash
luarocks install luacheck
cargo install stylua
```
Run:
```sh
stylua lua
luacheck lua
```
You can setup the git hooks by running `scripts/setup-hooks.sh`.
## Check
[luals](https://luals.github.io) check is run with:
```sh
scripts/luals-check.sh
```
Requires `lua-language-server` on your path.
Assumes neovim's `$VIMRUNTIME` is `"/usr/share/nvim/runtime"`. Override with:
```sh
VIMRUNTIME="/my/path/to/runtime" scripts/luals-check.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`
# 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.
