+# Crystal Linux Contributing Guidelines
+
+#### !! Always make sure to `git pull` before doing any work to avoid commit hell !!
+
+### Pre-Commit Checks
+
+- Make sure to `cargo fmt` your code before every commit push
+- Unless in specific edge cases, don't push code that doesn't pass `cargo check`
+- Try to correct any code with `cargo clippy` before you push
+
+### Formatting
+
+- UNIX line endings (LF instead of CRLF)
+- 4 spaces per TAB
+
+### Good Practices
+
+- Try to use .unwrap() as little as possible
+- Try to never use panic!() in production code, always try to have a possible way to resolve errors, even if it's just
+  unwrap_or/_else()
+- Never use println!() or eprintln!() in finalised code. Using string functions (e.g. info() in Amethyst v3.0.0) is
+  preferred
+- Compartmentalise as much as you can, avoid writing the exact same line of code 50 times if you can turn it into a
+  function
+
+### Examples of these guidelines in practice
+
