history
Project history and usage
sqlfmt is a command-line SQL formatter focused on width-aware output. In package-manager culture it fits the formatter niche: a small tool installed by name and wired into editor, CI, or pre-commit workflows to make SQL diffs less noisy.
Project history
The public repository describes sqlfmt as a SQL formatter with width-aware output and says its formatting model is based on Philip Wadler's pretty-printing work. The first GitHub release, v0.1.0, was published as an initial binary release in October 2018.
Later releases kept the tool packaged as standalone binaries. Version 0.5.0, published in March 2023, switched to the CockroachDB parser package according to the project's release notes.
Adoption history
Homebrew packages sqlfmt as the `sqlfmt` formula, making it available through the same install path used for other formatter CLIs. GitHub repository metadata also shows a modest open-source audience through stars, forks, and releases.
How it is used
The tool is used as `sqlfmt` to reformat SQL text. Its value is strongest in repositories where SQL lives beside application code and maintainers want predictable wrapping and casing without manually adjusting query text.
Why package nerds care
Package nerds care about sqlfmt because it is a narrowly scoped formatter with prebuilt release artifacts and a Homebrew formula: the classic shape of a small CLI that becomes useful once it is easy to install everywhere.
Timeline
- 2018: v0.1.0 published as the initial binary release.
