Automate code formatting¶
Using linters that enforced code-style is a good practice for any project that aims to have more than one person working on it. However, the way the maintainer chooses to enforce code style does make a big difference, as this could easily create a lot of friction for contributors.
Luckily, these days many tools can help with this and which can automatically fix code style even on incoming pull requests.
One notable example is pre-commit.ci which you can install as a GitHub App on your repository. This will automatically run and push fixes on top of incoming pull requests. It will never push to your main branch. Nobody should be able to push to your main branch if you configured your repository correctly, including yourself.
