 Before you start, check out the requirements and guidelines below.

+== Quality Checks
+
+Vulkan Samples has a range of quality checks to ensure that we maintain a consistent quality and style across all samples. These include formatting, linting and copyright checks.
+
+To make this process as painless for contributors as possible we use xref:https://pre-commit.com/[pre-commit]. To install pre-commit and the hooks for this repository, run the following commands:
+
+----
+pip install pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+----
+
+If you prefer not to use pre-commit, you can run the checks manually using the following commands:
+
+----
+# Run clang-format
+./scripts/clang_format.py main
+# Run copyright checks
+./scripts/copyright.py main --fix
+----
+
+Future tooling may be added in the future. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please open an issue on the repository.
