xo: Lint using the "prettier" code style.

$ xo --prettier

try on your machine

The command "xo --prettier" is likely used in a project that utilizes the XO code linter along with the Prettier code formatter.

XO is a JavaScript linter that enforces a set of rules and guidelines to ensure code quality and consistency. It catches common programming mistakes and enforces best practices.

Prettier, on the other hand, is a code formatter that automatically formats code according to a predefined set of rules. It solves the problem of inconsistent code formatting by enforcing a consistent formatting style.

When running the command "xo --prettier", it is likely that the project is using both tools together. The "xo" part executes the XO linter, while the "--prettier" flag tells XO to use Prettier for code formatting.

By combining both tools, developers can have the benefits of both a linter and a formatter, ensuring high-quality code that is both error-free and consistently formatted.
