Please read my previous post about this topic <https://groups.google.com/g/jenkinsci-dev/c/zUewd9LL5-g/m/ep-syqtgAgAJ> if you have not already. Ceding control of some subjective preferences to an opinionated tool with few (if any) configuration options can be uncomfortable at first, but in my experience the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the long term. These benefits include never having to deal with a PR that includes a mix of formatting and logic changes (faster code reviews), being able to write code more quickly without having to make formatting decisions, and being able to read code more easily when it is all written in a consistent style. I have implemented automatic formatting in large organizations many times in my career, and in all cases people complained a little at first but then grew to like it. I myself disliked some of the opinions of the authors of the tools I was putting in place, but putting my own advice into practice I decided to set aside my own opinions for the sake of group cohesion and the benefits described above. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
