autopep8
: It is a Python library and command-line tool that automatically formats Python code according to the PEP 8 style guide.--diff
: It is an option that tells autopep8 to display the differences between the original code and the formatted code without actually modifying the file.${filename}

with the actual file name or path before executing the command.
