-# Provisional style guide
-
-> These guidelines are new and may change. This note will be removed when
-> consensus is reached.
-
-Not all existing code will comply with this style guide, but new code should.
-Further, it is a goal to eventually update all existing code to be in
-compliance.
-
-## All code
-
-### Early exit
-
-All code, unless it substantially increases the line count or complexity, should
-use early exits from loops and functions where possible.
-
-## Go specific
-
-All Go code should comply with the [Go Code Review Comments][gostyle] and
-[Effective Go][effective_go] guides, as well as the additional guidelines
-described below.
-
-### Mutexes
-
-#### Naming
-
-Mutexes should be named mu or xxxMu. Mutexes as a general rule should not be
-exported. Instead, export methods which use the mutexes to avoid leaky
-abstractions.
-
-#### Location
-
-Mutexes should be sibling fields to the fields that they protect. Mutexes should
-not be declared as global variables, instead use a struct (anonymous ok, but
-naming conventions still apply).
-
-Mutexes should be ordered before the fields that they protect.
-
-#### Comments
-
-Mutexes should have a comment on their declaration explaining any ordering
-requirements (or pointing to where this information can be found), if
-applicable. There is no need for a comment explaining which fields are
-protected.
-
-Each field or variable protected by a mutex should state as such in a comment on
-the field or variable declaration.
-
-### Unused returns
-
-Unused returns should be explicitly ignored with underscores. If there is a
-function which is commonly used without using its return(s), a wrapper function
-should be declared which explicitly ignores the returns. That said, in many
-cases, it may make sense for the wrapper to check the returns.
-
-### Formatting verbs
-
-Built-in types should use their associated verbs (e.g. %d for integral types),
-but other types should use a %v variant, even if they implement fmt.Stringer.
-The built-in `error` type should use %w when formatted with `fmt.Errorf`, but
-only then.
-
-### Wrapping
-
-Comments should be wrapped at 80 columns with a 2 space tab size.
-
-Code does not need to be wrapped, but if wrapping would make it more readable,
-it should be wrapped with each subcomponent of the thing being wrapped on its
-own line. For example, if a struct is split between lines, each field should be
-on its own line.
-
-#### Example
-
-```go
-_ = exec.Cmd{
- Path: "/foo/bar",
- Args: []string{"-baz"},
-}
-```
-
-## C++ specific
-
-C++ code should conform to the [Google C++ Style Guide][cppstyle] and the
-guidelines described for tests.
