Yeah I think that’s what he meant. You don’t want CI editing commits.
I use pre-commit for this. It’s pretty decent. The major flaws I’ve found with it:
Each linter has to be in its own repo (for most linter types). So it’s not really usable for project-specific lints.
Doesn’t really work with e.g. pyright or pylint unless you use no third party dependencies because you need a venv set up with your dependencies installed and pre-commit (fairly reasonably) doesn’t take care of that.
Overall it’s good, with some flaws, but there’s nothing better available so you should definitely use it.
Pre-commit hooks is a common approach to this, so that whatever is committed gets processed. Another possibility would be to set a bot on the repo to do automated commits after human-made ones, but that can get a little noisy.
sets the diff to ignore whitespace
Lines changed: 3
The pipeline should handle formatting. No matter how you screw it up, once you commit, it gets formatted to an agreed upon standard.
Or auto rejected when the format doesn’t fit.

Some diff tools don’t handle indentation by default.
So if you add a wrapper, it counts everything inside it as “changed”
That’s what “toggle whitespace diff” is for.
You can do that? How?

Haha! Jokes on you! It was mostly gnu makefile calls to ruby scripts!!! You’ve just broken the build a million different ways!
