+## Guidelines
+
+Have fun, and work on whatever floats your boat. Take It Easy :tm:.
+
+For help with contributing to ALE, see `:help ale-development` in Vim, or view
+the help file online [here](/w0rp/ale/blob/master/doc/ale-development.txt).
+
+## Creating Issues
+
+Before creating any issues, please look through the current list of issues and
+pull requests, and ensure that the issue hasn't already been reported. If an
+issue has already been reported, but you have some new insight, please add
+a comment to the existing issue.
+
+Please read the FAQ in the README before creating any issues. A feature
+you desire may already exist and be documented, or the FAQ might explain
+how to solve a problem you have already.
+
+Please try and describe any issues reported with as much detail as you can
+provide about your Vim version, the linter you were trying to run, your
+operating system, or any other information you think might be helpful.
+
+Please describe your issue in clear, grammatically correct, and easy to
+understand English. You are more likely to see an issue resolved if others
+can understand you.

+# Asynchronous Lint Engine [![Travis CI Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/w0rp/ale.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/w0rp/ale) [![AppVeyor Build Status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/r0ef1xu8xjmik58d/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/w0rp/ale)
+
+
+![ALE Logo by Mark Grealish - https://www.bhalash.com/](img/logo.jpg?raw=true)
+
+ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine) is a plugin for providing linting in NeoVim
+0.2.0+ and Vim 8 while you edit your text files, and acts as a Vim
+[Language Server Protocol](https://langserver.org/) client.
+
+![linting example](img/example.gif?raw=true)
+
+ALE makes use of NeoVim and Vim 8 job control functions and timers to
+run linters on the contents of text buffers and return errors as
+text is changed in Vim. This allows for displaying warnings and
+errors in files being edited in Vim before files have been saved
+back to a filesystem.
+
+In other words, this plugin allows you to lint while you type.
+
+ALE offers support for fixing code with command line tools in a non-blocking
+manner with the `:ALEFix` feature, supporting tools in many languages, like
+`prettier`, `eslint`, `autopep8`, and more.
+
+ALE acts as a "language client" to support a variety of Language Server Protocol
+features, including:
+
+* Diagnostics (via Language Server Protocol linters)
+* Go To Definition (`:ALEGoToDefinition`)
+* Completion (`let g:ale_completion_enabled = 1`)
+* Finding references (`:ALEFindReferences`)
+* Hover information (`:ALEHover`)
+
+If you don't care about Language Server Protocol, ALE won't load any of the code
+for working with it unless needed. One of ALE's general missions is that you
+won't pay for the features that you don't use.

+
+## 1. Supported Languages and Tools
+
+This plugin supports the following languages and tools. All available
+tools will be run in combination, so they can be complementary.
+
+<!--
+Keep the table rows sorted alphabetically by the language name,
+and the tools in the tools column sorted alphabetically by the tool
+name. That seems to be the fairest way to arrange this table.
+
+Remember to also update doc/ale.txt, which has a similar list with different
+formatting.
+-->
+
+**Notes:**
+
+* *^ No linters for text or Vim help filetypes are enabled by default.*
+* *!! These linters check only files on disk. See `:help ale-lint-file-linters`*

+## 2. Usage
+
+<a name="usage-linting"></a>
+
+### 2.i Linting
+
+Once this plugin is installed, while editing your files in supported
+languages and tools which have been correctly installed,
+this plugin will send the contents of your text buffers to a variety of
+programs for checking the syntax and semantics of your programs. By default,
+linters will be re-run in the background to check your syntax when you open
+new buffers or as you make edits to your files.
+
+The behaviour of linting can be configured with a variety of options,
+documented in [the Vim help file](doc/ale.txt). For more information on the
+options ALE offers, consult `:help ale-options` for global options and `:help
+ale-linter-options` for options specified to particular linters.
+
+<a name="usage-fixing"></a>
+
+### 2.ii Fixing
+
+ALE can fix files with the `ALEFix` command. Functions need to be configured
+either in each buffer with a `b:ale_fixers`, or globally with `g:ale_fixers`.
+
+The recommended way to configure fixers is to define a List in an ftplugin file.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/javascript.vim, or somewhere similar.
+
+" Fix files with prettier, and then ESLint.
+let b:ale_fixers = ['prettier', 'eslint']
+" Equivalent to the above.
+let b:ale_fixers = {'javascript': ['prettier', 'eslint']}
+```
+
+You can also configure your fixers from vimrc using `g:ale_fixers`, before
+or after ALE has been loaded.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
+let g:ale_fixers = {
+\ 'javascript': ['eslint'],
+\}
+```
+
+If you want to automatically fix files when you save them, you need to turn
+a setting on in vimrc.
+
+```vim
+" Set this variable to 1 to fix files when you save them.
+let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1
+```
+
+The `:ALEFixSuggest` command will suggest some supported tools for fixing code.
+Both `g:ale_fixers` and `b:ale_fixers` can also accept functions, including
+lambda functions, as fixers, for fixing files with custom tools.
+
+See `:help ale-fix` for complete information on how to fix files with ALE.
+
+<a name="usage-completion"></a>
+
+### 2.iii Completion
+
+ALE offers some support for completion via hijacking of omnicompletion while you
+type. All of ALE's completion information must come from Language Server
+Protocol linters, or from `tsserver` for TypeScript.
+
+```vim
+" Enable completion where available.
+let g:ale_completion_enabled = 1
+```
+
+See `:help ale-completion` for more information.
+
+<a name="usage-go-to-definition"></a>
+
+### 2.iv Go To Definition
+
+ALE supports jumping to the definition of words under your cursor with the
+`:ALEGoToDefinition` command using any enabled Language Server Protocol linters
+and `tsserver`.
+
+See `:help ale-go-to-definition` for more information.
+
+<a name="usage-find-references"></a>
+
+### 2.v Find References
+
+ALE supports finding references for words under your cursor with the
+`:ALEFindReferences` command using any enabled Language Server Protocol linters
+and `tsserver`.
+
+See `:help ale-find-references` for more information.
+
+<a name="usage-hover"></a>
+
+### 2.vi Hovering
+
+ALE supports "hover" information for printing brief information about symbols at
+the cursor taken from Language Server Protocol linters and `tsserver` with the
+`ALEHover` command.
+
+On vim/gvim with `balloon` support you can see the information in a tooltip
+that appears under the mouse when you mouseover a symbol.
+
+See `:help ale-hover` for more information.

+
+## 5. FAQ
+
+<a name="faq-disable-linters"></a>
+
+### 5.i. How do I disable particular linters?
+
+By default, all available tools for all supported languages will be run. If you
+want to only select a subset of the tools, you can define `b:ale_linters` for a
+single buffer, or `g:ale_linters` globally.
+
+The recommended way to configure linters is to define a List in an ftplugin
+file.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/javascript.vim, or somewhere similar.
+
+" Enable ESLint only for JavaScript.
+let b:ale_linters = ['eslint']
+
+" Equivalent to the above.
+let b:ale_linters = {'javascript': ['eslint']}
+```
+
+You can also declare which linters you want to run in your vimrc file, before or
+after ALE has been loaded.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
+let g:ale_linters = {
+\ 'javascript': ['eslint'],
+\}
+```
+
+For all languages unspecified in the dictionary, all possible linters will
+be run for those languages, just as when the dictionary is not defined.
+Running many linters should not typically obstruct editing in Vim,
+as they will all be executed in separate processes simultaneously.
+
+If you don't want ALE to run anything other than what you've explicitly asked
+for, you can set `g:ale_linters_explicit` to `1`.
+
+```vim
+" Only run linters named in ale_linters settings.
+let g:ale_linters_explicit = 1
+```
+
+This plugin will look for linters in the [`ale_linters`](ale_linters) directory.
+Each directory within corresponds to a particular filetype in Vim, and each file
+in each directory corresponds to the name of a particular linter.
+
+<a name="faq-keep-signs"></a>
+
+### 5.ii. How can I keep the sign gutter open?
+
+You can keep the sign gutter open at all times by setting the
+`g:ale_sign_column_always` to 1
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_sign_column_always = 1
+```
+
+<a name="faq-change-signs"></a>
+
+### 5.iii. How can I change the signs ALE uses?
+
+Use these options to specify what text should be used for signs:
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_sign_error = '>>'
+let g:ale_sign_warning = '--'
+```
+
+ALE sets some background colors automatically for warnings and errors
+in the sign gutter, with the names `ALEErrorSign` and `ALEWarningSign`.
+These colors can be customised, or even removed completely:
+
+```vim
+highlight clear ALEErrorSign
+highlight clear ALEWarningSign
+```
+
+<a name="faq-change-highlights"></a>
+
+### 5.iv. How can I change or disable the highlights ALE uses?
+
+ALE's highlights problems with highlight groups which link to `SpellBad`,
+`SpellCap`, `error`, and `todo` groups by default. The characters that are
+highlighted depend on the linters being used, and the information provided to
+ALE.
+
+Highlighting can be disabled completely by setting `g:ale_set_highlights` to
+`0`.
+
+```vim
+" Set this in your vimrc file to disabling highlighting
+let g:ale_set_highlights = 0
+```
+
+You can control all of the highlights ALE uses, say if you are using a different
+color scheme which produces ugly highlights. For example:
+
+```vim
+highlight ALEWarning ctermbg=DarkMagenta
+```
+
+See `:help ale-highlights` for more information.
+
+<a name="faq-statusline"></a>
+
+### 5.v. How can I show errors or warnings in my statusline?
+
+[vim-airline](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline) integrates with ALE
+for displaying error information in the status bar. If you want to see the
+status for ALE in a nice format, it is recommended to use vim-airline with ALE.
+The airline extension can be enabled by adding the following to your vimrc:
+
+```vim
+" Set this. Airline will handle the rest.
+let g:airline#extensions#ale#enabled = 1
+```
+
+If you don't want to use vim-airline, you can implement your own statusline
+function without adding any other plugins. ALE provides a function for counting
+the number of problems for this purpose, named `ale#statusline#Count`.
+
+Say you want to display all errors as one figure, and all non-errors as another
+figure. You can do the following:
+
+```vim
+function! LinterStatus() abort
+ let l:counts = ale#statusline#Count(bufnr(''))
+
+ let l:all_errors = l:counts.error + l:counts.style_error
+ let l:all_non_errors = l:counts.total - l:all_errors
+
+ return l:counts.total == 0 ? 'OK' : printf(
+ \ '%dW %dE',
+ \ all_non_errors,
+ \ all_errors
+ \)
+endfunction
+
+set statusline=%{LinterStatus()}
+```
+
+See `:help ale#statusline#Count()` for more information.
+
+<a name="faq-lightline"></a>
+
+### 5.vi. How can I show errors or warnings in my lightline?
+
+[lightline](https://github.com/itchyny/lightline.vim) does not have built-in
+support for ALE, nevertheless there is a plugin that adds this functionality: [maximbaz/lightline-ale](https://github.com/maximbaz/lightline-ale).
+
+For more information, check out the sources of that plugin, `:help ale#statusline#Count()` and [lightline documentation](https://github.com/itchyny/lightline.vim#advanced-configuration).
+
+<a name="faq-echo-format"></a>
+
+### 5.vii. How can I change the format for echo messages?
+
+There are 3 global options that allow customizing the echoed message.
+
+- `g:ale_echo_msg_format` where:
+ * `%s` is the error message itself
+ * `%...code...%` is an optional error code, and most characters can be
+ written between the `%` characters.
+ * `%linter%` is the linter name
+ * `%severity` is the severity type
+- `g:ale_echo_msg_error_str` is the string used for error severity.
+- `g:ale_echo_msg_warning_str` is the string used for warning severity.
+
+So for example this:
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_echo_msg_error_str = 'E'
+let g:ale_echo_msg_warning_str = 'W'
+let g:ale_echo_msg_format = '[%linter%] %s [%severity%]'
+```
+
+Will give you:
+
+![Echoed message](img/echo.png)
+
+See `:help g:ale_echo_msg_format` for more information.
+
+<a name="faq-autocmd"></a>
+
+### 5.viii. How can I execute some code when ALE starts or stops linting?
+
+ALE runs its own [autocmd](http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/autocmd.html)
+events when a lint or fix cycle are started and stopped. There is also an event
+that runs when a linter job has been successfully started. These events can be
+used to call arbitrary functions during these respective parts of the ALE's
+operation.
+
+```vim
+augroup YourGroup
+ autocmd!
+ autocmd User ALELintPre call YourFunction()
+ autocmd User ALELintPost call YourFunction()
+
+ autocmd User ALEJobStarted call YourFunction()
+
+ autocmd User ALEFixPre call YourFunction()
+ autocmd User ALEFixPost call YourFunction()
+augroup END
+```
+
+<a name="faq-navigation"></a>
+
+### 5.ix. How can I navigate between errors quickly?
+
+ALE offers some commands with `<Plug>` keybinds for moving between warnings and
+errors quickly. You can map the keys Ctrl+j and Ctrl+k to moving between errors
+for example:
+
+```vim
+nmap <silent> <C-k> <Plug>(ale_previous_wrap)
+nmap <silent> <C-j> <Plug>(ale_next_wrap)
+```
+
+For more information, consult the online documentation with
+`:help ale-navigation-commands`.
+
+<a name="faq-lint-on-save"></a>
+
+### 5.x. How can I run linters only when I save files?
+
+ALE offers an option `g:ale_lint_on_save` for enabling running the linters
+when files are saved. This option is enabled by default. If you only
+wish to run linters when files are saved, you can turn the other
+options off.
+
+```vim
+" Write this in your vimrc file
+let g:ale_lint_on_text_changed = 'never'
+" You can disable this option too
+" if you don't want linters to run on opening a file
+let g:ale_lint_on_enter = 0
+```
+
+If for whatever reason you don't wish to run linters again when you save
+files, you can set `g:ale_lint_on_save` to `0`.
+
+<a name="faq-quickfix"></a>
+
+### 5.xi. How can I use the quickfix list instead of the loclist?
+
+The quickfix list can be enabled by turning the `g:ale_set_quickfix`
+option on. If you wish to also disable the loclist, you can disable
+the `g:ale_set_loclist` option.
+
+```vim
+" Write this in your vimrc file
+let g:ale_set_loclist = 0
+let g:ale_set_quickfix = 1
+```
+
+If you wish to show Vim windows for the loclist or quickfix items
+when a file contains warnings or errors, `g:ale_open_list` can be
+set to `1`. `g:ale_keep_list_window_open` can be set to `1`
+if you wish to keep the window open even after errors disappear.
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_open_list = 1
+" Set this if you want to.
+" This can be useful if you are combining ALE with
+" some other plugin which sets quickfix errors, etc.
+let g:ale_keep_list_window_open = 1
+```
+
+You can also set `let g:ale_list_vertical = 1` to open the windows vertically
+instead of the default horizontally.
+
+<a name="faq-jsx-stylelint-eslint"></a>
+
+### 5.xii. How can I check JSX files with both stylelint and eslint?
+
+If you configure ALE options correctly in your vimrc file, and install
+the right tools, you can check JSX files with stylelint and eslint.
+
+First, install eslint and install stylelint with
+[stylelint-processor-styled-components](https://github.com/styled-components/stylelint-processor-styled-components).
+
+Supposing you have installed both tools correctly, configure your .jsx files so
+`jsx` is included in the filetype. You can use an `autocmd` for this.
+
+```vim
+augroup FiletypeGroup
+ autocmd!
+ au BufNewFile,BufRead *.jsx set filetype=javascript.jsx
+augroup END
+```
+
+Supposing the filetype has been set correctly, you can set the following
+options in a jsx.vim ftplugin file.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/jsx.vim, or somewhere similar.
+let b:ale_linters = ['stylelint', 'eslint']
+let b:ale_linter_aliases = ['css']
+```
+
+Or if you want, you can configure the linters from your vimrc file.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
+let g:ale_linters = {'jsx': ['stylelint', 'eslint']}
+let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'jsx': 'css'}
+```
+
+ALE will alias the `jsx` filetype so it uses the `css` filetype linters, and
+use the original Array of selected linters for `jsx` from the `g:ale_linters`
+object. All available linters will be used for the filetype `javascript`, and
+no linter will be run twice for the same file.
+
+<a name="faq-my-battery-is-sad"></a>
+
+### 5.xiii. Will this plugin eat all of my laptop battery power?
+
+ALE takes advantage of the power of various tools to check your code. This of
+course means that CPU time will be used to continuously check your code. If you
+are concerned about the CPU time ALE will spend, which will of course imply
+some cost to battery life, you can adjust your settings to make your CPU do
+less work.
+
+First, consider increasing the delay before which ALE will run any linters
+while you type. ALE uses a timeout which is cancelled and reset every time you
+type, and this delay can be increased so linters are run less often. See
+`:help g:ale_lint_delay` for more information.
+
+If you don't wish to run linters while you type, you can disable that
+behaviour. Set `g:ale_lint_on_text_changed` to `never` or `normal`. You won't
+get as frequent error checking, but ALE shouldn't block your ability to edit a
+document after you save a file, so the asynchronous nature of the plugin will
+still be an advantage.
+
+If you are still concerned, you can turn the automatic linting off altogether,
+including the option `g:ale_lint_on_enter`, and you can run ALE manually with
+`:ALELint`.
+
+<a name="faq-c-configuration"></a>
+
+### 5.xiv. How can I configure my C or C++ project?
+
+The structure of C and C++ projects varies wildly from project to project, with
+many different build tools being used for building them, and many different
+formats for project configuration files. ALE can run compilers easily, but
+ALE cannot easily detect which compiler flags to use.
+
+Some tools and build configurations can generate
+[compile_commands.json](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html)
+files. The `cppcheck`, `clangcheck`, `clangtidy` and `cquery` linters can read
+these files for automatically determining the appropriate compiler flags to
+use.
+
+For linting with compilers like `gcc` and `clang`, and with other tools, you
+will need to tell ALE which compiler flags to use yourself. You can use
+different options for different projects with the `g:ale_pattern_options`
+setting. Consult the documentation for that setting for more information.
+`b:ale_linters` can be used to select which tools you want to run, say if you
+want to use only `gcc` for one project, and only `clang` for another.
+
+You may also configure buffer-local settings for linters with project-specific
+vimrc files. [local_vimrc](https://github.com/LucHermitte/local_vimrc) can be
+used for executing local vimrc files which can be shared in your project.
+
+<a name="faq-buffer-configuration"></a>
+
+### 5.xv. How can I configure ALE differently for different buffers?
+
+ALE offers various ways to configure which linters or fixers are run, and
+other settings. For the majority of ALE's settings, they can either be
+configured globally with a `g:` variable prefix, or for a specific buffer
+with a `b:` variable prefix. For example, you can configure a Python ftplugin
+file like so.
+
+```vim
+" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/python.vim
+
+" Check Python files with flake8 and pylint.
+let b:ale_linters = ['flake8', 'pylint']
+" Fix Python files with autopep8 and yapf.
+let b:ale_fixers = ['autopep8', 'yapf']
+" Disable warnings about trailing whitespace for Python files.
+let b:ale_warn_about_trailing_whitespace = 0
+```
+
+For configuring files based on regular expression patterns matched against the
+absolute path to a file, you can use `g:ale_pattern_options`.
+
+```vim
+" Do not lint or fix minified files.
+let g:ale_pattern_options = {
+\ '\.min\.js$': {'ale_linters': [], 'ale_fixers': []},
+\ '\.min\.css$': {'ale_linters': [], 'ale_fixers': []},
+\}
+" If you configure g:ale_pattern_options outside of vimrc, you need this.
+let g:ale_pattern_options_enabled = 1
+```
+
+Buffer-local variables for settings always override the global settings.
+
+<a name="faq-list-window-height"></a>
+
+### 5.xvi. How can I configure the height of the list in which ALE displays errors?
+
+To set a default height for the error list, use the `g:ale_list_window_size` variable.
+
+```vim
+" Show 5 lines of errors (default: 10)
+let g:ale_list_window_size = 5
+```
