How to use it !

[preejackie]

Hi My mentoring organisation uses editorconfig. I didn't use it so far in my projects. As a beginner how I should use editorconfig in atom. I found docs not helping me. Please provide me guidelines for using editorconfig. Thank you...

The editorconfig website should provide all the documentation you need to write your first .editorconfig file. To use the plugin you just need to install it, and the .editorconfig file should do the rest of the work.

And one more doubt.. If I write a .editorconfig file and then I begin to code in my normal style. After completing .editorconfig will do the indentation work for me ?

This plugin changes your editor settings so any new code you write will match your settings (spaces vs tabs, etc). If you want to fix old code, check out something like atom-beautify.

If you don't indent your code, this plugin won't do anything. You still have to worry about indentation yourself.
