Google's official style guides for many programming languages (C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, and more), published for Google-originated open-source projects. It also includes an Emacs settings file for Google C++ style, while the cpplint tool itself has moved to a community fork.
Use cases
- find Google's official C++ style guide
- check Python naming and formatting conventions used at Google
- align my open-source project with Google coding standards
- set up Emacs for Google C++ style
- learn recommended shell scripting conventions
- reference JSON and Markdown style rules
When to choose
- you contribute to or maintain a Google-originated open-source project
- you want authoritative, battle-tested coding conventions for a language
- you are defining a style guide for your team and want a proven baseline
When to avoid
- you need the cpplint linting tool itself - use the community fork at cpplint/cpplint
- you want to contribute changes - external pull requests are not accepted
- you need style rules for Dart or Kotlin - those guides live in separate projects
