💅 YAPF3 — like, the Python code formatter, bestie

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for yapf3, from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. She's a Python code formatter, she's for Python 3, and she is so ready to make your code look cute. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

yapf3 — Python code formatter 🐍✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yapf3 [-h] [-v] [-d | -i] [-r | -l START-END] [-e PATTERN] [--style
STYLE] [--style-help] [--no-local-style] [files [files ...]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

yapf3 is a Python code formatter for Python 3. That's it, that's the whole description. She formats. She's for Python 3. She ate. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. 🫶
  • -v, --version — shows the version number and exits. iconic behaviour honestly.
  • -d, --diff — prints the diff for the fixed source, so you can see exactly what she'd change before you commit to anything. no cap. 🔥
  • -i, --in-place — actually makes the changes to files, in place. this one edits your files for real, so vibe check before you run it bestie. 😭
  • -r, --recursive — runs recursively over directories. she goes deep. 🌈
  • -l START-END, --lines START-END — reformats a range of lines. one-based, so line 1 is line 1, we're not doing that zero-index nonsense here. ✨
  • -e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN — patterns for files to exclude from formatting. i.e. the files you're like "not her, leave her alone". 🙈
  • --style STYLE — specify the formatting style: either a style name (for example "pep8" or "google"), or the name of a file with style settings. the default is pep8 unless a .style.yapf3 or setup.cfg file located in one of the parent directories of the source file (or the current directory for stdin). 🎀
  • --style-help — shows the style settings and exits. little peek behind the curtain. 👑
  • --no-local-style — don't search for a local style definition (.style.yapf3). she'll mind her own business, respectfully. 💜

okay bestie that's a wrap 💅 this page lives in the General Commands Manual, and the footer energy was dated September 2016 with the source line trailing off like Usage: yapf3 [-h [-v] [-d | -... — so yeah, she's been slaying since 2016 and she's not stopping. periodt. 🩷🌸🦋💖
