history

Project history and usage

cbfmt is a Rust command-line formatter driver for code blocks inside Markdown, Org, and reStructuredText documents.

Project history

The official repository was created in July 2022. Its README defines cbfmt as a tool that iterates over document code blocks and runs configured formatting commands for each block language.

Adoption history

The supplied package metadata shows cbfmt available through Homebrew and Nix. GitHub Releases published the v0.2.0 release on August 31, 2022.

How it is used

A `.cbfmt.toml` file maps code block languages to formatter commands that read stdin and write stdout. Users can check or rewrite files, process directories recursively, or read a document from stdin.

Why package nerds care

cbfmt is package-nerd-relevant because it composes existing language formatters instead of replacing them, giving documentation projects a small CLI for keeping embedded examples formatted.

Timeline

2022: The official GitHub repository was created.
2022: v0.1.x and v0.2.0 releases were published.
2023: The official repository metadata records later maintenance activity.

Related projects

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
