# Google Style Guides



Every major open-source project has its own style guide: a set of conventions

(sometimes arbitrary) about how to write code for that project. It is much

easier to understand a large codebase when all the code in it is in a consistent

style.



“Style” covers a lot of ground, from “use camelCase for variable names” to

“never use global variables” to “never use exceptions.” This project

([google/styleguide](https://github.com/google/styleguide)) links to the style

guidelines we use for Google code. If you are modifying a project that

originated at Google, you may be pointed to this page to see the style guides

that apply to that project.

compliance, and [google-c-style.el][emacs], an Emacs settings file for Google

style.



If your project requires that you create a new XML document format, the

[XML Document Format Style Guide][xml] may be helpful. In addition to actual

style rules, it also contains advice on designing your own vs. adapting an

existing format, on XML instance document formatting, and on elements vs.

attributes.

## Contributing



With few exceptions, these style guides are copies of Google's internal style

guides to assist developers working on Google owned and originated open source

projects. Changes to the style guides are made to the internal style guides

first and eventually copied into the versions found here. **External

contributions are not accepted.** Pull requests are regularly closed without

comment.



People can file [issues using the GitHub tracker][gh-tracker]. Issues that raise

questions, justify changes on technical merits, or point out obvious mistakes

may get some engagement and could in theory lead to changes, but we are

primarily optimizing for Google's internal needs.
