in this tutorial, we'll explore how to use black, a popular python code formatter, in conjunction with github to automatically format your python code in pull requests. this ensures that your codebase adheres to a consistent style guide, making it more readable and maintainable.
before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
python: you should have python installed on your system. you can download it from the official website: python downloads.
github account: you'll need a github account to host your python repositories and set up actions.
git: ensure you have git installed and configured on your machine.
log in to your github account.
click on the '+' icon in the top-right corner and select "new repository."
fill out the necessary information for your repository (e.g., repository name, description).
choose "public" or "private" as per your preference.
initialize the repository with a readme.md file if needed.
click the "create repository" button.
to work with your github repository locally, clone it to your computer using the following command, replacing your-username and repository-name with your github username and the name of your repository:
change your working directory to the newly cloned repository:
black is a code formatter for python. install it using pip if you haven't already:
in your repository's root directory, create a .github/workflows directory if it doesn't already exist. this is where github actions workflows will be defined.
create a yaml file inside the .github/workflows directory, e.g., black.yml. this file will define the workflow for formatting code using black.
this workflow runs whenever a pull request is created or updated on the main branch. it checks out your code, sets up python, installs dependencies if specified, and then runs black on your code.
commit the black.yml file to your repository and push it to github:
now that you have configured the workflow, create a new branch, make some changes to your pyth ...
