Nitpick

Command-line tool and flake8 <https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8>_ plugin to enforce the same settings across multiple language-independent projects.

Useful if you maintain multiple projects and are tired of copying/pasting the same INI/TOML/YAML/JSON keys and values over and over, in all of them.

The CLI now has a nitpick fix command that modifies configuration files directly (pretty much like black <https://github.com/psf/black> and isort <https://github.com/PyCQA/isort> do with Python files). See the CLI docs for more info <https://nitpick.rtfd.io/en/latest/cli.html>_.

Many more features are planned for the future, check the roadmap <https://github.com/andreoliwa/nitpick/projects/1>_.

The style file

A "Nitpick code style" is a TOML <https://github.com/toml-lang/toml>_ file with the settings that should be present in config files from other tools.

Example of a style:

.. code-block:: toml

["pyproject.toml".tool.black]
line-length = 120

["pyproject.toml".tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]
pylint = "*"

["setup.cfg".flake8]
ignore = "D107,D202,D203,D401"
max-line-length = 120
inline-quotes = "double"

["setup.cfg".isort]
line_length = 120
multi_line_output = 3
include_trailing_comma = true
force_grid_wrap = 0
combine_as_imports = true

This style will assert that:

... black <https://github.com/psf/black>, isort <https://github.com/PyCQA/isort> and flake8 <https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8>_ have a line length of 120;
... flake8 <https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8> and isort <https://github.com/PyCQA/isort> are configured as above in setup.cfg;
... Pylint <https://www.pylint.org>_ is present as a Poetry <https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry> dev dependency in pyproject.toml.

Supported file types

These are the file types currently handled by Nitpick.

Some files are only being checked and have to be modified manually;
Some files can already be fixed automatically (with the nitpick fix command);
Others are still under construction; the ticket numbers are shown in the table (upvote the ticket with 👍🏻 if you would like to prioritise development).

Style Library (Presets)

Nitpick has a builtin library of style presets, shipped as Python resources <https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#module-importlib.resources>_.

This library contains building blocks for your your custom style. Just choose styles from the table below and create your own style, like LEGO.

Read how to:

...add multiple styles to the configuration file <https://nitpick.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#multiple-styles>_;
...include styles inside a style <https://nitpick.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nitpick_section.html#nitpick-styles>_.

Quickstart
----------

Install

Install in an isolated global environment with pipx <https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx>_::

# Latest PyPI release
pipx install nitpick

# Development branch from GitHub
pipx install git+https://github.com/andreoliwa/nitpick

On macOS/Linux, install with Homebrew <https://github.com/Homebrew/brew>_::

# Latest PyPI release
brew install andreoliwa/formulae/nitpick

# Development branch from GitHub
brew install andreoliwa/formulae/nitpick --HEAD

On Arch Linux, install with yay::

yay -Syu nitpick

Add to your project with Poetry <https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry>_::

poetry add --dev nitpick

Or install it with pip::

pip install -U nitpick

Run


Nitpick_ will fail if no style is explicitly configured.
Run this command to download and use the opinionated `default style file <nitpick-style.toml>`_:

    nitpick init

You can use it as a template to `configure-your-own-style`_.

To fix and modify your files directly::

    nitpick fix

To check for errors only::

    nitpick check

Nitpick is also a flake8_ plugin, so you can run this on a project with at least one Python (``.py``) file::

    flake8 .

Run as a pre-commit hook

If you use pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>_ on your project, add this to the .pre-commit-config.yaml in your repository::

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/andreoliwa/nitpick
    rev: v0.35.0
    hooks:
      - id: nitpick

There are 3 available hook IDs:

nitpick and nitpick-fix both run the nitpick fix command;
nitpick-check runs nitpick check.

If you want to run Nitpick as a flake8 plugin instead::

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8
    rev: 4.0.1
    hooks:
      - id: flake8
        additional_dependencies: [nitpick]

Run as a MegaLinter plugin



If you use `MegaLinter <https://megalinter.github.io/>`_ you can run Nitpick as a plugin. Add the following two entries to your ``.mega-linter.yml`` configuration file:

.. code-block:: yaml

    PLUGINS:
      - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreoliwa/nitpick/v0.35.0/mega-linter-plugin-nitpick/nitpick.megalinter-descriptor.yml
    ENABLE_LINTERS:
      - NITPICK
