+
+## Project Overview
+
+NonSteamLaunchers is a tool that installs various game launchers (Epic Games, EA App, GOG Galaxy, etc.) under a single Proton prefix on Steam Deck and Linux systems. It automatically adds these launchers to the Steam Library and can scan for installed games in real-time.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Python Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create and activate virtual environment using UV
+uv venv --python ">=3.11,<3.13"
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --all-extras
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+```bash
+# Format Python code
+ruff format .
+
+# Check Python linting
+ruff check .
+
+# Fix linting issues automatically
+ruff check . --fix
+
+# Run pre-commit hooks manually
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+### Running the Project
+
+```bash
+# Main installer script
+./NonSteamLaunchers.sh
+
+# Game scanner service
+python NSLGameScanner.py
+
+# Install specific launcher via command line
+/bin/bash -c 'curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck/main/NonSteamLaunchers.sh | nohup /bin/bash -s -- "Epic Games"'
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+- **NonSteamLaunchers.sh**: Main Bash script that handles launcher installation, Steam integration, and UI
+- **NSLGameScanner.py**: Python service that monitors installed launchers and automatically adds games to Steam library
+- **config.py**: Configuration management for paths and settings
+- **Modules/**: Vendored Python dependencies (steamgrid, requests, vdf, etc.)
+
+### Key Paths
+
+- Compatdata directory: `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/`
+- NonSteamLaunchers prefix: `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/`
+- Logs: `/home/deck/Downloads/NonSteamLaunchers-install.log`
+- Game saves backup: `/home/deck/NSLGameSaves`
+
+### Integration Points
+
+- **Steam**: Adds shortcuts via Steam's shortcuts.vdf file
+- **Proton**: Uses UMU Launcher and GE-Proton for Windows compatibility
+- **Decky Loader**: Plugin available for Steam Deck Game Mode
+- **Ludusavi**: Pre-configured for game save backups
+
+## Code Style
+
+### Python
+
+- Formatter: Ruff (Black-compatible, 130 char line length)
+- Python version: 3.11-3.12
+- Indentation: 4 spaces
+- Follow PEP 8 with exceptions defined in ruff.toml
+
+### Shell Scripts
+
+- Indentation: Tabs
+- Follow shellcheck rules (see .shellcheckrc)
+- Use bash shebang: `#!/bin/bash`
+
+### Pre-commit Hooks
+
+Pre-commit is configured with:
+
+- Ruff for Python formatting and linting
+- File checks (YAML, JSON, large files, private keys)
+- End-of-file fixing and line ending normalization
+
+## Testing
+
+Currently, there is no formal test suite. When implementing new features:
+
+- Test installation of launchers manually
+- Verify Steam library integration
+- Check game scanner functionality
+- Test on both Desktop and Game Mode
+
+## Command Line Arguments
+
+The main script supports:
+
+- Launcher names: `"Epic Games"`, `"EA App"`, `"GOG Galaxy"`, etc.
+- Uninstall: `"Uninstall Epic Games"`
+- Utilities: `"Start Fresh"`, `"Update Proton-GE"`, `"Stop NSLGameScanner"`
+- SD Card: `"Move to SD Card" "LauncherName"`
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The script modifies Steam configuration files - handle with care
+- Game scanner runs as a systemd service
+- Community notes feature uses `#nsl` hashtag
+- MicroSD card support requires proper mount points
+- Cloud saves via Ludusavi are backed up to `/home/deck/NSLGameSaves`
