As the script is in early development false positive are expected. The flagged issues should be reviewed, but the diff doesn't need to be applied blindly. +Execution of checkstyle.py can be automated through git commit hooks. Example +of pre-commit and post-commit hooks are available in `utils/hooks/pre-commit` +and `utils/hooks/post-commit`. You can install either hook by copying it to +`.git/hooks/`. The post-commit hook is easier to start with as it will only flag +potential issues after committing, while the pre-commit hook will abort the +commit if issues are detected and requires usage of `git commit --no-verify` to +ignore false positives. + Happy hacking, libcamera awaits your patches! |
