black

Yes. Most of the projects now use black https://github.com/ambv/black

Black (The uncompromising Python code formatter) is all the rage atm. https://github.com/ambv/black

I just discovered that [black](https://github.com/ambv/black) can be set up as a git pre-commit hook. What are some other hooks that people have found useful?

I love that concept, but it turns out to be kinda difficult in many languages that weren't designed around the concept. Here's Black for python: https://github.com/ambv/black I'm not sure if my future co-workers would kill me or not for using it on projects.

FWIW Black ( https://github.com/ambv/black ) is a disciplined Python formatter that's reasonably successful, so I'm not convinced that the "significant indentation" thing actually matters too much; it probably just means that formatters need to be more careful to not introduce bugs, but the same principle of code -> AST -> code seems just as valid. What line splitting issues are you referring to? I've been pretty happy with the approach used by Prettier (and I believe Black) of fitting it on one line if possible, and doing one per line otherwise. I'd say that's my favorite part of Prettier: I don't need to think about wrapping anymore, it figures it out, so it's sad to see that gofmt doesn't do that (from my testing just now).

I wanted to add a bit of positivity and mention that I'm really liking how the black project is approaching problems. For example, a few people brought up fluent interfaces[0] as an issue. There were many opinions about the right and wrong thing to do, but discussion got to a very pragmatic decision I feel. Then there were requests to add command line arguments specifically so that tools could integrate with black that were added almost immediately. Congrats on gaining so much traction so quickly, and thanks for listening to users (when it makes sense). [0] https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/67

I do like the idea overall. So, let me tell you why I instantly hated it and closed the tab. Your Show HN headline did a great job, I was excited to see what a github repo quality bot does! This is a personal preference, but I find the name "Git Enforcer", the police officer emoji, and the git logo with a police hat on it completely off-putting. Not the atmosphere I would want to foster when I'm trying to use persuasion to get colleagues to adopt good practices. In my world, police are authoritarian bullies who demand instant compliance without negotiation, or else they'll brutalize you. It's humbler and more inviting for a bot to come across as an assistant. "Git Enforcer" comes across as something a clueless boss imposes. I think all the wrong-footed design cues come from the name "git enforcer". Basically your bot is a linter for colla
