make Prettier opt-out
glebec opened this issue · comments
Boilermaker's Prettier support is currently opt-in following this PR discussion.
The venerable instructors who objected to making Prettier automatic / opt-out have moved on. While we all miss them dearly and salute their valiant contributions to the curriculum, this does make me want to re-open the issue and see how our current instructional team views this feature.
My take on this is that it is not only good for students collaborating to have PRs be exclusively about content rather than formatting, but it is also good for us as staff members. It requires no special effort if it is opt-out, but it requires periodic reminders to staff & students if it is opt-in.
So what say you? Should automatic Prettier formatting on commit be opt-in or opt-out?
