+### Linting
+
+If you want to contribute code, please make sure to lint the project before commiting. This helps the code keep a general structure, and avoids some commons erros and mistakes.
+
+To do so, you can run the following command :
+
+```
+black src/
+```
+
+Beware that this command *will* re-write files, so doing `git add <file>` and then `black src/` and then `git diff` to see what the linter has done is a good idea.
