spec-beautifier(1)

✨ Name ✨

spec-beautifier — bestie's lil program that cleans up RPM .spec files 💅

---

🌸 Syntax 🌸

spec-beautifier [-d|-r] [file...]

---

🦋 Description 🦋

okay so. spec-beautifier is your new main character ✨ It checks .spec files — yk, the ones rpmbuild(1) uses — for inconsistencies, and where it can, it just... fixes them. slay. 💖

But when it can't fix something? it doesn't ghost you. it emits a warning to let you know that manual intervention is required — like, bestie, this one's on you fr fr 🙈

💅 Options 💅

lowkey iconic: if you pass no options at all, the files get processed and the result goes straight to stdout. it's giving... dry run energy. you get to see the glow-up before committing to it 🎀

• -d — instead of printing the substituted text, it prints a diff-like output with - and + lines, showing you exactly which differences got applied. so you can vibe check every single change 👑
• -r — not-so-dry run: it modifies files in place. no takebacks. the changes are real now, bestie 💀

heads up: -r edits your actual files. dry run first if you're feeling cautious. 🫶
