4. Commit
4. Follow the Coding Conventions
Discourse follows those code style conventions:
* two spaces, no tabs
* no trailing whitespaces, blank lines should have no spaces
* use spaces around operators, after commas, colons, semicolons, around `{` and before `}`
* no space after `(`, `[` or before `]`, `)`
* use Ruby 1.9 hash syntax: prefer `{ a: 1 }` over `{ :a => 1 }`
* use `&&` and `||` over `and`/`or`
* prefer `class << self; def method; end` over `def class.method` for class methods
* prefer `{ ... }` over `do ... end` for single-line blocks, avoid using `{ ... }` for multi-line blocks
* avoid `return` when not requried

10. Responding to Feedback
The Discourse team may recommend adjustments to your code, and this is perfectly normal. Part of interacting with a healthy open-source community requires you to be open to learning new techniques and strategies; *don't get discouraged!* Remember: if the Discourse team suggest changes to your code, **they care enough about your work that they want to include it**, and hope that you can assist by implementing those revisions on your own.
