All text files have to be in UTF-8 (without BOM) encoding (generally UTF-8 on GNU/Linux and ISO 8859-15 on MS Windows) and LF character newline (sometime called UNIX newline/endline) (Windows generally used CRLF). Unfortunately, by default some text editors save with the same encoding and character newline of your OS.

An empty line must be at the end of text files. The aim is readability with cat file.

• In order to force to use UTF-8 and LF for this project in Eclipse, do right click on the project in "Package Explorer", then "Properties", in the right panel select "Resource", now you are on the right and enough intelligent to find what to change.
• For creating new files with UTF-8 and LF in Geany, go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Files" (tab), then choose "Unix (LF)" for line breaks and "UTF-8" as the default encoding.
• For doing the same thing in Qt Creator, go to "Tools" > "Options" > "Text Editor" > "Behavior".

We use english, so please use it everywhere in the project (messages, function names, doc, etc).

Names of variables, functions/methods, classes and everything else have to be clear, even if the name is a little longer. You also do not have to forget to create documentation.

Following the PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal) 20 is a good thing, even if the project does not use the Python language.

The project should compile with at least 2 different C/C++ compilers (differente does not mean version number) (like GCC and Clang).

If you need to make a structured document, you should consider Markdown. For example, this document uses the Markdown syntax.

For longer texts or presentations, LaTeX and HTML/CSS(/JS) could be good options.

The above text should also work on derivatives of Debian, like Trisquel, gNewSense or Ubuntu.

You have to install the git package and its dependencies. You must have SuperUser/root rights, that you can have with su or su command. You can use apt-get install, aptitude install (if aptitude is installed) or a graphical user interface with Synaptic (if it is installed).

You have to install the git package and its dependencies. With SuperUser/root rights, you can use yum install or a graphical user interface with Yum Extender (if it is installed).

Download it on the official website and install it.

If you do not know how to use it, you must read a documentation (like the official one).

Use git status to check that your modifications will be commited. You have to pull before push.

git provides only a text shell interface. However, you can install a graphical user interface for it (like git-cola or gitg).
