+### Guidelines
 
-1. **Fork the repository**
+The project uses Prettier and ESLint for code formatting and linting.
+Integrating ESLint in your editor is recommended to ensure that the code
+formatting in addition to the linting rules are followed. For VSCode, you can
+use [the ESLint extension](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-eslint).
 
-2. **Create a new branch**:
+Pre-commit hooks are in place to ensure that the code is properly formatted
+before a commit is added to the repo. The pre-commit hook runs the precommit
+script (`npm run precommit`).
