+## Code Style
+Please check the file `.astylerc` for details. We recommend to install a
+pre-commit hook to make sure that one only commit complying code. Such a hook
+can be found in scripts/astyle-check.sh
+
+Steps to install the hook:
+  # install `astyle`
+  apt-get install astyle
+
+  cd pvs2
+  cd .git/hooks
+  ln -s ../../scripts/astyle-check.sh pre-commit
+  chmod +x pre-commit
+
+If a staged file does not comply to our coding style, you can use
+ `astyle --options=./.astylerc <FILE>` to correct the style.
