These options are attribute sets, and you need to give the configuration you’re adding some name, like this:</p><pre class="programlisting nix">{

report a bug or discuss a potential feature implementation, first look among the already <a class="link" href="https://github.com/notashelf/neovim-flake/issues" target="_top">open issues</a> and
|

if no matching issue exists you may open a <a class="link" href="https://github.com/notashelf/neovim-flake/issues/new" target="_top">new issue</a> and describe your problem/request. While creating an

issue, please try to include as much information as you can, ideally also include relevant context in which an issue

occurs or a feature should be implemented.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="sec-contrib-getting-started"></a>8.1.

<a class="link" href="https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/" target="_top">Fork a repo guide</a> for instructions on how you can do this. Once you have a fork of neovim-flake
|

you should create a branch starting at the most recent <code class="literal">main</code> branch.
|

Give your branch a reasonably descriptive name, suffixed by its type - i.e <code class="literal">feature/debugger</code> or <code class="literal">fix/pesky-bug</code>.</p><p>Implement your changes and commit them to the newly created branch and when you are happy with the result and positive

that it fulfills <a class="xref" href="index.html#sec-guidelines" title="8.2. Guidelines">Section 8.2, “Guidelines”</a>.

Guidelines</h2></div></div></div><p>If your contribution tightly follows the guidelines, then there is a good chance it will be merged without too much

trouble. Some of the guidelines will be strictly enforced, others will remain as gentle nudges towards the correct

direction. As we have no automated system enforcing those guidelines, please try to double check your changes before

making your pull request in order to avoid "faulty" code slipping by.</p><p>If you are uncertain how these rules affect the change you would like to make then feel free to start a

user’s discretion based on how the original code was structured.</p><p>Please use one line code for attribute sets that contain only one subset.

For example:</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># parent modules should always be unfolded

module = {

type = lib.types.bool;

description = "Some other description"
|
||
default = true;
|
||
};

||
};
|
||
}</pre><p>If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically unfold the whole merged attrset

for you, which we <span class="strong"><strong>do not</strong></span> want.</p><pre class="programlisting nix">module = {

key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {

default = true; # we want this to be inline

};
|

# ...
|

}</pre><p>For lists, it is mostly up to your own discretion how you want to format them, but please try to unfold lists if

they contain multiple items and especially if they are to include comments.</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># this is ok
|
||
acceptableList = [

|
||
time:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
|

<code class="literal">mkBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes a basic binding, with <code class="literal">silent</code> set to true.

<code class="literal">mkExprBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes an expression binding, with <code class="literal">lua</code>, <code class="literal">silent</code>, and <code class="literal">expr</code> set to true.

</li></ul></div><p>Note that the Lua in these bindings is actual Lua, not pasted into a <code class="literal">:lua</code> command.
|

Therefore, you either pass in a function like <code class="literal">require('someplugin').some_function</code>, without actually calling it,
|
||
or you define your own function, like <code class="literal">function() require('someplugin').some_function() end</code>.</p><p>Additionally, to not have to repeat the descriptions, there’s another utility function with its own set of functions:</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># Utility function that takes two attrsets:
