black

A Python auto code formatter. More information: https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/the_basics.html.
  • Auto-format a file or entire directory:
    black {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Format the code passed in as a string:
    black -c "{{code}}"
  • Output whether a file or a directory would have changes made to them if they were to be formatted:
    black --check {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Output changes that would be made to a file or a directory without performing them (dry-run):
    black --diff {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Auto-format a file or directory, emitting exclusively error messages to stderr:
    black --quiet {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Auto-format a file or directory without replacing single quotes with double quotes (adoption helper, avoid using this for new projects):
    black --skip-string-normalization {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
