Contributing to cpm

To add your package manager to cpm, do the following:

1. Make sure your code is formatted like the rest of cpm. If you are using vim (or another editor which respects a vim modeline), there is a modeline to set indentation settings for you. If you are not, you should be using the following settings:
   • Indent lines with 2 spaces (not tabs)
   • A line should be no longer than 80 characters unless absolutely necessary
2. Add a function for the package manager. These should be kept in the same order as the conditionals at the end of the file.
   • Your function must look and act the same as the others
   • Do not rely on coreutils; if you need to use something from coreutils, you should write a shell function to do it. See tot and has, for example.
   • You must implement ALL functionality in your function. If there is a package manager for which one cannot be added, state this in your pull request and an exception can be made if absolutely necessary.
3. Add a condition at the end of the file to find your package manager, then call your function inside the conditional.
4. Test that your function works.
5. Submit a pull request! I usually respond to PRs and issues pretty quickly.
