The project metadata and README describe it as the uncompromising Snakemake code formatter. ### Adoption history snakefmt is distributed through Homebrew and Nix in the supplied package metadata and supports pre-commit integration from its official README, making it easy to add to package and repository hygiene workflows. ### How it is used Users run snakefmt against Snakefiles or directories. By default it searches parent directories for pyproject.toml and reads snakefmt and Black configuration from that file; command-line options override config values. ### Why package nerds care snakefmt matters to package and workflow maintainers because it standardizes Snakemake formatting, can run in pre-commit, and reduces noisy diffs in scientific workflow repositories. ### Timeline - 2020: Official GitHub repository created. - 2020: v0.1.0 published on GitHub releases. - 2026: Project metadata lists snakefmt 2.x and a Python 3.11+ requirement. ### Related projects - Snakemake - Black - shfmt - pre-commit ### Sources - - - - - input 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.
