# Coding Style
The OpenSCAD coding style is encoded in `.uncrustify.cfg`.
Coding style highlights:
* Use 2 spaces for indentation
* Use C++11 functionality where applicable. Please read Scott Meyer's Effective Modern C++ for a good primer on modern C++ style and features: https://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033707.do
## Beautifying code
Code to be committed can be beautified by installing `uncrustify`
(https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify) and running
`scripts/beautify.sh`. This will, by default, beautify all files that
are currently changed.
Alternatively, it's possible to beautify the entire codebase by running `scripts/beautify.sh --all`.
This is not recommended except in special cases like:
* We're upgrading uncrustify to fix rules globally
* You're bringing an old branch to life and want to minimize conflict cause by the large coding style update
Note: Uncrustify is in heavy development and tends to introduce breaking changes from time to time.
OpenSCAD has been tested against uncrustify commit a05edf605a5b1ea69ac36918de563d4acf7f31fb (Dec 24 2017).
