# Tools that may save you and the team some time

## Automatically format your Git commit with clang-format

### Run

To run the command use

```bash
git clang-format $(git merge-base origin/develop HEAD)
```

This diffs from origin/develop to HEAD:


### Install
This tool allows you to run clang-format on your local changes before they're sent out for review.
This will minimize the amount of style feedback you get from the team and saves everyone time.

```bash
# Check to see if you have clang-format command installed.
# If you are a Googler then ask someone on the team how to install clang-format.
# Otherwise, get the latest release from https://github.com/material-foundation/clang-format/releases
clang-format -version

# Check to see if you have git's clang-format command installed.
git clang-format -h

# If you already have git's clang-format command configured, you're ready to use the tool.

# Download the script
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/clang/c510fac5695e904b43d5bf0feee31cc9550f110e/tools/clang-format/git-clang-format -o "git-clang-format"
