Uses EditorConfig for an editor neutral default styling
- Defaults to using tabs where possible for accessibility reasons
root = false
so that the user can set their preferred (or required for accessibility reasons) rendering of the tabs via a.editorconfig
file in a higher level directory, or their home directory. Not doing this defeats the purpose of using tabs vs. spaces.tab_width
is not set in this repository so that the user's config will be used. (See above).
'We' is the 'royal we' (because we don't like saying 'I' a lot and often we want speak in the first person), and 'I' am @danielfdickinson.
This repository uses pre-commit to filter out (and potentially auto-fix) issues with many minor (and some not so minor) 'nits'.
The developer who introduced me to pre-commit has written a blog post giving some context and general information on the use of 'pre-commit', and the official docs are pretty good too, so perhaps that will suffice.
He prefers a different code spell checker though, but I use CSpell.
