yapf: Format the file in-place and display a diff of the changes.
$ yapf --diff --in-place ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "yapf --diff --in-place ${filename}" refers to the usage of the YAPF tool with certain options and argument.
- YAPF stands for "Yet Another Python Formatter." It is a code formatter that helps in automatically formatting Python code according to specified rules and guidelines.
- "--diff" is an option that instructs YAPF to show the differences between the original code and the formatted code without modifying the file. It generates a unified diff output highlighting the changes that would be made.
- "--in-place" is another option that tells YAPF to apply the formatting changes directly to the file, modifying it in-place.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual file name or path that needs to be formatted.
So, when running this command by replacing ${filename} with the actual file name or path, YAPF will analyze the code, show the differences between the original and formatted versions (without making any changes to the file), and then apply the formatting changes directly to the file, modifying it in-place.
