💅 CRYS...ORMAT(1) — the crystal-tool-format glow-up guide ✨

okay bestie, so this page lives in the Crystal Compiler Command Line Reference Guide and it's literally all about making your code pretty. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

crystal-tool-format — the icon that formats Crystal source files 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

crystal tool format [options] [source...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. [source...] is doing so much heavy lifting and we love her for it 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: this thing formats your project, directories and/or files using the coding style that the standard library uses. like, the same style. the canon style. the main character style. 👑

you point it at stuff, it makes that stuff look correct. periodt. 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --check — this one is the vibe check 🌈 she only checks conformity and does not apply any changes. so if you're in your "don't touch my code, just tell me if it's ugly" era, this is your girl. no edits, just judgment (affectionate). 🙈
ngl, if you skip --check and just run it straight, it will actually change your files. that's the whole point, bestie. ✨
