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 - rustfmt, gofmt, stylua, and black are example formatter commands shown in the official configuration example. - Markdown, Org, and reStructuredText are the document formats named by the official README. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
