Installation

1. Ensure you have clang-format installed. You can install it via your package manager:

   • Ubuntu: sudo apt install clang-format
   • macOS: brew install clang-format
   • Arch: sudo pacman -S clang
   • Other: Download from the LLVM releases page.

2. Copy the .clang-format file to your project root for consistency with your teammates, or to your home directory (~) for global use.

   curl -o ~/.clang-format https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Davphla/clang-format-epitech/refs/heads/main/.clang-format

Usage

Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

1. Install the C/C++ extension from the Extensions Marketplace.
2. Open your workspace settings and change (if needed) the following configuration in settings:

   {
       "C_Cpp.clang_format_style": "file"
   }

3. Now, you can use Ctrl + Shift + I to format the current document.
4. Or you can also format your code using the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and typing Format Document.

Emacs

1. Install the clang-format package if you haven't already.
2. Add the following to your Emacs configuration file (.emacs or init.el):

   (require 'clang-format)
   (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-f") 'clang-format-region)

3. You can format the current region or buffer by using C-c C-f.

Neovim (nvim)

1. Install the clang-format plugin using your preferred plugin manager (e.g., vim-plug):

   Plug ("sbdchd/neoformat")

2. Add the following configuration to your init.vim or init.lua:

   vim.cmd("autocmd FileType c,cpp setlocal formatprg=clang-format")

3. You can format your code by running :Neoformat.

Command Line

You can also use clang-format directly from the command line. Navigate to your project directory and run:

clang-format -i <filename>

Replace <filename> with the name of the file you want to format. The -i flag edits the file in place.

Customizing the Configuration

You can customize the .clang-format file to suit your coding style preferences. Refer to the Clang-Format Style Options for a comprehensive list of available options.
