## What it is
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

## Facets

- function: formatter, cli, developer-tools
