## Support and development

Please submit patches by pushing to `contrib/...` in the official repo.

We have several Git repo mirrors on a few places:
* [Lindenii Forge itself](https://forge.lindenii.runxiyu.org/lindenii/forge/:/repos/server/)
* [The Lindenii Project's cgit](https://git.lindenii.runxiyu.org/forge.git/)

* [GitHub](https://github.com/runxiyu/forge/)

## Code style

We follow the Lindenii Project's general code style, which has a few important
deviations from what most people may be used to:

* We used tabs for indentation everywhere (Go, C, HTML, CSS, JS, SQL, etc.)
* All names are in `snake_case`; exported identifiers in Go use
  `Capitalized_snake_case`. Type identifiers end with `_t`.
* We avoid `:=` in Go, and prefer to use `var`.
