Using the Template

This repository serves as a template for creating your own style. The following files/folders should be edited with your own infomation:

• alex: This is where your actual style should be implemented. Re-name the folder and replace its content with your .yml rule files.

• features + fixtures: This is where your tests should reside.

• LICENSE: replace with your own license information.

• .travis.yml: Replace all instances of "alex" with the name of your style. You'll also need to add your own $GITHUB_TOKEN to your Travis CI repository settings.
