Style Guide

Definitions

1. A documented set of conventions governing code formatting, naming, file organization, and idiomatic usage for a language or project. Widely adopted examples include Google's style guides, Airbnb's JavaScript guide, and PEP 8 for Python.

   In plain English: A rulebook for how code should be written and formatted so that everyone on the team writes in a consistent style.

   Example: "The style guide says use camelCase for functions and PascalCase for components — run the linter before you push."
