history
Project history and usage
gersemi is a Python-based formatter for CMake source files. It targets CMakeLists.txt, CMakeLists.txt.in, .cmake, and .cmake.in files, and aims to provide a low-configuration formatting style for build-system code.
Project history
The gersemi repository was opened in 2020. Its README describes a formatter that can be installed from PyPI, run as a command-line tool, configured with `.gersemirc`, and integrated into pre-commit through a dedicated hook repository.
Adoption history
gersemi fills a practical niche for projects that already enforce code style but also want deterministic formatting for CMake files. Package availability through Homebrew, Nix, and Windows package metadata reflects use beyond direct PyPI installs.
How it is used
Practitioners run gersemi in check, in-place, or diff mode across files or directories. The tool discovers common CMake file names, reads formatting configuration from `.gersemirc` or command-line flags, supports custom command definitions and extensions, and can be used in pre-commit hooks.
Why package nerds care
For package-manager users, gersemi is useful because it brings Black-like formatting habits to CMake projects through a single CLI. It is especially handy in CI and pre-commit setups where reproducible formatting matters more than editor-specific integrations.
Timeline
- 2020: The gersemi repository was opened on GitHub.
