# Contributing to sway

Contributing just involves sending a pull request. You will probably be more
successful with your contribution if you visit the [IRC
channel](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sway&uio=d4) upfront and discuss
your plans.

## Coding Style

Sway is written in C. The style guidelines is [kernel
style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle), but all braces go
on the same line (*"but K&R says so!" is a silly way of justifying something*).
Some points to note:

* Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason
* Do not use macros unless you have a *really* good reason
* Align `case` with `switch`
* Tabs, not spaces
* `char *pointer` - note position of `*`
* Use logging with reckless abandon
* Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners

An example of well formatted code:

```C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "log.h"
#include "example.h"

struct foobar {
	char *foo;
	int bar;
	long baz;
}; // Do not typedef without a good reason

	if (argc != 4) {
