Installation guide

Quick setup

To try the package, simply install it (in a virtualenv or globally) and run flake8 on a project with at least one Python (.py) file:

$ cd /path/to/my/python/project

# Install using pip:
$ pip install -U nitpick

# Or using Poetry:
$ poetry add --dev nitpick

$ flake8 .

Nitpick will download and use the opinionated default style file.

You can use it as a template to Configure your own style.

Run as a pre-commit hook (recommended)

If you use pre-commit on your project (you should), add this to the .pre-commit-config.yaml in your repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/andreoliwa/nitpick
    rev: v0.23.1
    hooks:
      - id: nitpick

To install the pre-commit and commit-msg Git hooks:

pre-commit install --install-hooks
pre-commit install -t commit-msg

To start checking all your code against the default rules:

pre-commit run --all-files
