+## Introduction
+
+We have a lint tool for catching common mistakes in test files. The tool comes from
+[W3C/wpt-tools](https://github.com/w3c/wpt-tools/) with modification for catching
+common mistakes in submitted pull request, all WebGL/sdk/tests and specified folder.
+
+The copyright of this tool is belong to W3C and/or the author listed in the test
+file. The tool is dual-licensed under the
+[W3C Test Suite License](http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-license)
+and [BSD 3-clause License](http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/03-bsd-license),
+which are introduced in
+[W3C's test suite licensing policy](http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-copyright).
+
+Now the tool can check html, htm, xhtml, xhtm, js, frag and vert files.
+- You can run it manually by starting the `lint.py` executable from the root of your local
+WebGL/sdk/tests working directory like this:
+
+```
+./py/lint/lint.py
+```
+
+You can use the lint tool to check submitted pull request and fix the errors reported by the tool.
+Reviewers will not merge branches with tests that have lint errors, so you must either
+[fix all lint errors](#fixing-lint-errors) or update
+[white-list test files] (#updating-the-whitelist) to suppress the errors.
+
+## Usage of lint tool
+
+1. Check other repos, specify the repo name with `-r`, default
+is WebGL/sdk/tests:</br>
+<code>
+./py/lint/lint.py -r demo-express
+</code>
+1. Check submitted pull request:</br>
+<code>
+./py/lint/lint.py -p
+</code>
+1. Check specified folder, the specified folder must be relative path of
+WebGL/sdk/tests:</br>
+<code>
+./py/lint/lint.py -d conformance/attribs
+</code>
+
+## Fixing lint errors
+
+You must fix any errors the lint tool reports, unless an error is for
+something essential to a certain test or that for some other exceptional
+reason shouldn't prevent the test from being merged. In those cases you can
+update [white-list test files](#updating-the-whiteslist) to suppress the errors.
+Otherwise, use the details in this section to fix all errors reported.
+
+* **CR AT EOL**: Test-file line ends with CR (U+000D) character; **fix**:
+  reformat file so each line just has LF (U+000A) line ending (standard,
+  cross-platform "Unix" line endings instead of, e.g., DOS line endings).
+
+* **INDENT TABS**: Test-file line starts with one or more tab characters;
+  **fix**: use spaces to replace any tab characters at beginning of lines.
+
+* **TRAILING WHITESPACE**: Test-file line has trailing whitespace; **fix**:
+  remove trailing whitespace from all lines in the file.
+
+* **UNNECESSARY EXECUTABLE PERMISSION**: Test file contains unnecessary executable permission; **fix**:
+  remove unnecessary executable permission of the file.
+
+* **FILENAME WHITESPACE**: Test file name contains white space; **fix**:
+  remove white space from test file name.
+
+## Updating the whitelist
+
+Normally you must [fix all lint errors](#fixing-lint-errors). But in the
+unusual case of error reports for things essential to certain tests or that
+for other exceptional reasons shouldn't prevent a merge of a test, you can
+update and commit the `lint.whitelist` file in the WebGL/sdk/tests/py/lint/
+directory to suppress errors the lint tool would report for a test file.
+
+To add a test file or directory to the whitelist, use the following format:
+
+```
+ERROR TYPE:file/name/pattern
+```
+
+For example, to whitelist the file `example/file.html` such that all
+`TRAILING WHITESPACE` errors the lint tool would report for it are
+suppressed, add the following line to the `lint.whitelist` file.
+
+```
+TRAILING WHITESPACE:example/file.html
+```
+
+To whitelist an entire directory rather than just one file, use the `*`
+wildcard. For example, to whitelist the `example` directory such that all
+`TRAILING WHITESPACE` errors the lint tool would report for any files in it
+are suppressed, add the following line to the `lint.whitelist` file.
+
+```
+TRAILING WHITESPACE:example/*
+```
+
+If needed, you can also use the `*` wildcard to express other filename
+patterns or directory-name patterns (just as you would when, e.g.,
+executing shell commands from the command line).
+
+Finally, to whitelist just one line in a file, use the following format:
+
+```
+ERROR TYPE:file/name/pattern:line_number
+```
+
+For example, to whitelist just line 128 of the file `example/file.html`
+such that any `TRAILING WHITESPACE` error the lint tool would report for
+that line is suppressed, add the following to the `lint.whitelist` file.
+
+```
+TRAILING WHITESPACE:example/file.html:128
+```
