dotnet/format is the home of the dotnet-format command, a code formatter for .NET projects that applies style and formatting rules to C# and other .NET code. Development has been consolidated into the dotnet/sdk repository, which now hosts the tool and handles its issues.

Use cases

  • format c# code from the command line
  • enforce consistent code style in a dotnet project
  • run code formatting in ci for pull requests
  • fix whitespace and style violations across a solution
  • integrate dotnet code formatting into editor workflows

When to choose

  • you need to format .NET codebases via CLI or CI
  • you want to enforce .editorconfig style rules automatically

When to avoid

  • you need the latest features or to file new issues - use dotnet/sdk instead
  • you are formatting non-.NET languages
