### Clang-Format
As of v2.6.2, pybind11 ships with a [`clang-format`][clang-format]
configuration file at the top level of the repo (the filename is
`.clang-format`). Currently, formatting is NOT applied automatically, but
manually using `clang-format` for newly developed files is highly encouraged.
To check if a file needs formatting:
```bash
clang-format -style=file --dry-run some.cpp
```
The output will show things to be fixed, if any. To actually format the file:
```bash
clang-format -style=file -i some.cpp
```
Note that the `-style-file` option searches the parent directories for the
`.clang-format` file, i.e. the commands above can be run in any subdirectory
of the pybind11 repo.
### Clang-Tidy
To run Clang tidy, the following recipe should work. Files will be modified in
place, so you can use git to monitor the changes.
[`clang-tidy`][clang-tidy] performs deeper static code analyses and is
more complex to run, compared to `clang-format`, but support for `clang-tidy`
is built into the pybind11 CMake configuration. To run `clang-tidy`, the
following recipe should work. Files will be modified in place, so you can
use git to monitor the changes.
```bash
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/pybind11 -it silkeh/clang:10
