EditorConfig

Quick start

Section titled “Quick start”
Terminal window
tinkerise add editorconfig

What it detects

Section titled “What it detects”

The editorconfig module checks for an existing .editorconfig file.

What it installs

Section titled “What it installs”

editorconfig is a config-only enhancement. It does not install any npm packages.

The generated file uses JS/TS-oriented defaults:

  • UTF-8 encoding
  • LF line endings
  • 2-space indentation
  • Final newline enabled
  • Trailing whitespace trim (except Markdown)
  • Tab indentation for Makefiles

File and config changes

Section titled “File and config changes”
  • Writes .editorconfig with standard JS/TS defaults
  • Adds markdown and Makefile-specific overrides

Expected outcome after tinkerise add editorconfig:

  • Editors that support EditorConfig apply consistent formatting behavior
  • Markdown files keep intentional trailing spaces
  • Makefiles preserve tab indentation

Conflict handling

Section titled “Conflict handling”

If .editorconfig already exists, interactive runs can show a diff and let you accept or skip the generated content.
