We follow the same coding guidelines as documented by Bitcoin Core, see [here](/doc/developer-notes.md). To run an automated code formatting check, try:
`git diff -U0 master -- '*.h' '*.cpp' | ./contrib/devtools/clang-format-diff.py -p1`. This will check any commits not on master for proper code formatting.
We try to avoid altering parts of the code that is inherited from Bitcoin Core unless absolutely necessary. This will make it easier to merge changes from
Bitcoin Core. If commits are expected not to be merged upstream (i.e. we broke up a commit from Bitcoin Core in order to use a single feature in it), the commit
message must contain the string "NOT FOR UPSTREAM MERGE".
