end-of-file 1.0.0

Small utility to ensure files end with one newline.

End of file is formatter for dealing with new lines at the end of the files. Eof can remove extra new lines and white spaces, or add missing one if needed. It accepts lists of extensions to look for but can also use own strategy to find text files, hidden files and folders are ignored.

The code is short and dead simple so if you have more questions feel free to open an issue or take a look into src.

Installation and usage

Installation

End_of_file is python script and thus python3.6 or newer must be present on the system. Eof is just another pip package and can be installed with pip install end-of-file.

Usage

Installation adds Eof to your environment so feel free to try

eof --help

To format project

eof --path=./project

To format only specific extensions (case insensitive)

eof --path=./project --extensions=txt,md,py,rb,cpp

To check in ci/cd if project is formatted correctly, return 0 if yes, 1 if changes are needed. Files are not changed.

eof --path=./project --check

Strategies

In case extensions flag is not provided eof has two ways of determining if file should be considered.

Bruteforce (default)

Bruteforce strategy just opens the file and tries to read first line, if that does not work it assumes the file does not contain text and is skipped.

eof --strategy='bruteforce'

Mimetype

Mimetype strategy checks extensions against lookup table.

eof --strategy='mimetype'

Testing

Code is fairly well tested, feel free to take a look.
