Solution

black — Format Python code automatically. See also: ruff. 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]}} "{{code}}"


Show 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}}


Show 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 {{[-q|--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 {{[-S|--skip-string-normalization]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
