## Coding Conventions

- Use `bash` built-ins wherever possible.
- Try not to pipe (`|`) at all.
- Limit usage of external commands `$(cmd)`.
- Indent 4 spaces.
- Use [snake_case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case) for function
  and variable names.
- Keep lines below `100` characters long.
- Use `[[ ]]` for tests.
- Quote **EVERYTHING**.

### ShellCheck

For your contribution to be accepted, your changes need to pass
ShellCheck.

```sh
shellcheck neofetch
```

**Note**: If you have trouble installing ShellCheck. You can open a pull
request on the repo and our Travis.ci hook will run ShellCheck for you.

### No no's

- Don’t use GNU conventions in commands.
    - Use POSIX arguments and flags.
- Don’t use `cut`.
    - Use `bash`'s built-in [parameter expansion](http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pe).
- Don’t use `echo`.
    - Use `printf "%s\n"`
- Don’t use `bc`.
- Don’t use `sed`.
    - Use `bash`'s built-in [parameter expansion](http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pe).
- Don’t use `cat`.
    - Use `bash`'s built-in syntax (`file="$(< /path/to/file.txt)")`).
- Don’t use `grep "pattern" | awk '{ printf }'`.
    - Use `awk '/pattern/ { printf }'`
- Don’t use `wc`.
    - Use `${#var}` or `${#arr[@]}`.

### If Statements

If the test only has one command inside of it; use the compact test
syntax. Otherwise the normal `if`/`fi` is just fine.

```sh
# Bad
if [[ "$var" ]]; then
    printf "%s\n" "$var"
fi

# Good
[[ "$var" ]] && printf "%s\n" "$var"

# Also good (Use this for longer lines).
[[ "$var" ]] && \
    printf "%s\n" "$var"
```

### Case Statements

Case statements need to be formatted in a specific way.

```sh
# Good example (Notice the indentation).
case "$var" in
    1)  printf "%s\n" 1 ;;
    2)
        printf "%s\n" "1"
        printf "%s\n" "2"
    ;;

*)
        printf "%s\n" "1"
        printf "%s\n" "2"
        printf "%s\n" "3"
    ;;
esac
```

## Making changes to Neofetch

### Adding support for a new Operating System / Distribution.

Adding support for a new OS/Distro requires adding the Name, Logo and
Colors of the OS/Distro to the `get_distro_ascii()` function.

The function is located right at the bottom of the script, one function
above `main()`. Inside this function you’ll find an alphabetical list of
each OS/Distro.

Find the spot in the list your new OS/Distro fits into and start
implementing your changes.

If your OS/Distro requires changes to the actual information gathering
functions then you can make these changes in the `get_*` functions.

**Syntax**:

- You have to escape back-slashes (`\`). (eg `\\`)
- You can use `${c1}` to `${c6}`to color the ascii.
    - These are evaluated *after* we read the file.

**Example**:

```sh
        "CRUX"*)
            set_colors 4 5 7 6
            read -rd '' ascii_data <<'EOF'
${c1}         odddd
      oddxkkkxxdoo
     ddcoddxxxdoool
     xdclodod  olol
     xoc  xdd  olol
     xdc  ${c2}k00${c1}Okdlol
