 This is the repo to store all the EasyBuild configuration files, including easyconfigs.
 
 Each stage is in a separate branch, containing all the relevant files for that stage
+
+
+This repository uses [autopep8](https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8) and [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com). For that, you need to run this on your machine:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user autopep8
+pip3 install --user pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+After those steps, `pre-commit` will call `autopep8` on each commit, and make small changes pass the pep8 test without needing to do a manual `eb --check-style` and checking each little mistake.
