editorconfig(1)

NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to editorconfig(1) from the General Commands Manual! This page is all about the editorconfig command, aka EditorConfig Command. no cap, it's iconic. ✨

Usage of the editorconfig command line tool 🎀

The synopsis is literally:

Usage: editorconfig [OPTIONS] FILEPATH1 [FILEPATH2 FILEPATH3 ...]

FILEPATH can be a hyphen (-) if you want path(s) to be read from stdin. Hyphen can also be specified with other file names. In this way, both file paths from stdin and the paths specified on the command line will be used. If more than one path specified on the command line, or the paths are reading from stdin (even only one path is read from stdin), the output format would be INI format, instead of the simple key=value lines. 🫶

Now the options, bestie:

• -f — Specify conf filename other than ".editorconfig".
• -b — Specify version (used by devs to test compatibility).
• -h OR --help — Print this help message.
• --version — Display version information.
