| Community |
| ========= |
| |
| CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in |
| collaboration with a productive community of contributors. |
| |
| .. _`Kitware`: http://www.kitware.com/cmake |
| |
| The preferred entry point for new contributors is the mailing list. |
| Please subscribe and post to the `CMake Developers List`_ to offer |
| contributions. Regular and productive contributors may be invited |
| to gain direct push access. |

| |
| Patches |
| ======= |
| |
| Please base all new work on the ``master`` branch. Then use |
| ``git format-patch`` to produce patches suitable to post to |
| the mailing list. |
| |
| Code Style |
| ========== |
| |
| We use `clang-format`_ to define our style for C++ code in the CMake source |
| tree. See the `.clang-format`_ configuration file for our style settings. |
| Use ``clang-format`` version 3.8 or higher to format source files. |
| |
| .. _`clang-format`: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html |
| .. _`.clang-format`: .clang-format |
