Contributing

Your contributions are always welcome! Please submit a pull request or create an issue to add a new package, library or software to the list.

Before contributing, please read this tiny guideline:

The Order of Items

Please don’t rearrange packages’ ordering without any reason! The items should be sorted by its popularity ( roughly, because it’s impossible to have a precious standard. e.g. most of people would use it; recommended for every newbie…)., instead of your personal preference.

For example, Evil is obviously not a package that every Emacser needs. So please don’t move it onto top in its category.

In contrast, if you think a package is recommended for every Emacser (especially for newbie), just place it at a higher place in list.

Emacs Built-In Packages

If a package is available in latest Emacs, please remember to add a [built-in] tag in the front of description.

Generate “Table of Contents”

After editing and ready to commit & push this list, you can use /gen-toc.el to update the table of contents with M-x awesome-emacs-gen-toc in README.org buffer.
