jarify 0.1.31

Bespoke SQL linter and formatter for DuckDB, powered by sqlglot

jarify

Bespoke SQL linter and formatter for DuckDB, built on sqlglot.

Existing SQL formatters can't be configured to enforce a specific team style, and none of them are DuckDB-aware. Jarify parses SQL with the DuckDB dialect and rewrites it through an opinionated, non-configurable formatter — no style debates, consistent output everywhere.

Installation

uv tool install jarify

Or run one-off without installing:

uvx jarify fmt path/to/query.sql

Upgrade

uv tool upgrade jarify

Pin to a specific version

uv tool install 'jarify==0.1.0'

Commands

jarify fmt — format SQL files

jarify fmt [OPTIONS] [FILES]...

Reads each file, formats it, and writes the result back in place.

Option	Description
-	Read from stdin
--check	Exit non-zero if any file would change (useful in CI)
--diff	Print a unified diff instead of rewriting files
--stdin-filename NAME	Label to use in diff output when reading from stdin

Exit codes: 0 = all files already formatted, 1 = files were reformatted, 2 = error.

# Format a single file
jarify fmt query.sql

# Check all .sql files without modifying them (CI mode)
jarify fmt --check **/*.sql

# Preview changes as a diff
jarify fmt --diff query.sql

# Pipe from stdin
cat query.sql | jarify fmt -

jarify lint — lint SQL files

jarify lint [OPTIONS] [FILES]...

Reports style and semantic violations. Does not modify files.

jarify lint query.sql

jarify init — create a config file

jarify init

Writes a jarify.toml in the current directory. Config is internal to the tool — this is primarily useful for future per-project rule overrides.

jarify show-config — inspect active config

jarify show-config

Prints the effective configuration (syntax-highlighted TOML).

Style and lint rules

Jarify enforces a single, opinionated style. There are no knobs to turn. See the SQL Style Guide for the complete rule reference with bad/good examples for every formatting and lint rule.

Development

Requires mise and uv.

git clone https://github.com/amfaro/jarify.git
cd jarify
uv sync --all-groups

mise run test    # run tests
mise run lint    # ruff check
mise run check   # lint + test

Adding a new fixture test

1. Create tests/fixtures/<category>/<name>.input.sql with the raw SQL
2. Run uv run pytest tests/test_fixtures.py --update-fixtures to generate the expected output
3. Review tests/fixtures/<category>/<name>.expected.sql and commit both files

Releases

Releases are fully automated across two workflows — no manual tagging required.

prepare-release.yml runs on every push to main that touches src/** or tests/**. It uses git-cliff to compute the next semver from unreleased conventional commits, bumps the version in pyproject.toml, regenerates CHANGELOG.md, and opens (or updates) a release/vX.Y.Z PR. If there are no new conventional commits since the last tag, it exits silently.

publish.yml triggers when pyproject.toml changes on main (i.e., when the release PR is merged). It builds the package with uv build, publishes to PyPI via OIDC trusted publishing, creates the vX.Y.Z git tag, and creates a GitHub Release with auto-generated notes and dist artifacts.

Human steps:

1. Land a feature or fix on main using conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, etc.) → the release PR is opened automatically.
2. Review the CHANGELOG entries in the release PR, then merge it → PyPI publish, git tag, and GitHub Release happen automatically.

[!IMPORTANT] Squash-merge PR titles must follow conventional commits format (feat:, fix:, etc.) so git-cliff counts them as releasable commits. A plain-language PR title will cause the release PR to be skipped.
