💅 fatou(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie so you opened the fatou(1) manual page, congrats, this is the main character of the fatou family and she's about to make your Julia life so much easier 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fatou — bestie. it's a language server, a formatter, and a linter for Julia, all in one. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fatou [--config] [--no-config] [--color] [-q|--quiet] [-h|--help]
[-V|--version] <subcommands>

that's the whole vibe check up front. flags first, subcommand after, you got this 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Fatou: a language server, formatter, and linter for Julia.

that's literally it, that's the pitch, and honestly? it's giving everything. one tool, three jobs, zero chaos ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --config <PATH> — points at an explicit fatou.toml and skips discovery entirely. no searching, no guessing, you told it where the file is, it goes there 🎯
• --no-config — ignores any fatou.toml (project one, FATOU_CONFIG, or global) and just uses the built-in defaults. the "i don't wanna hear it" flag fr fr 🙈
• --color <COLOR> [default: auto] — controls when human-readable output gets colorized. the possible values are:
  • auto: colorize when writing to a terminal and NO_COLOR is unset
  • always: always colorize, bestie, no matter what 🌈
  • never: never colorize, we're being Serious™ today
• -q, --quiet — suppresses non-essential output (errors are still shown, don't worry, you'll know if it broke 💀). specifics, because details matter:
  • under format --check, this drops the per-file diff, leaving you the list of files that would be reformatted plus the summary
  • under parse, it suppresses the CST
• -h, --help — print help. and psst: -h gives you a summary (see below 👇)
• -V, --version — print version. simple, clean, slay 💅

side note bestie: -h/--help says "print help (see a summary with -h)" — so the short flag is the summary version, yeah? iykyk 🌸

---

⭐ SUBCOMMANDS ⭐

• fatou-parse(1) — parses and displays the CST, for debugging. the "what is my code actually doing" button 🔍
• fatou-format(1) — formats .jl files. the glow-up subcommand 🧚
• fatou-lint(1) — lints .jl files. the "bestie, what is this" subcommand 🫶
• fatou-lsp(1) — runs the language server on stdio. main character energy, quietly, in the background 👑
• fatou-help(1) — prints this message, or the help of the given subcommand(s). the help-for-help, very meta, we love her 💜
