Contributing

Are you interested in contributing to bat-extras? That's great!
All we ask is that you keep a few things in mind:

DOs:

Use Bashisms whenever possible (unless it would make the code unclear). These are scripts written specifically for the bash shell, and they should take advantage of built-in functionality instead of spawning external processes.
Use awk or sed when it would be faster or less verbose than only using bash builtins.

Include crude or offensive language inside issues or scripts.
Use GNU/BSD-only features in external programs like sed or awk.
Use bash features that require a Bash version newer than 3.2.
Use head in a pipe. See Issue #19 for more details.
Use any external program that isn't likely to come installed by default (e.g. avoid perl and python).
Automatically reformat scripts unless it's a pull request specifically intended for reformatting. The formatting style that we use differs from what shfmt and other shell script formatters will emit.
