EditorConfig

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. Many editors and IDEs support it natively, and many others support it via plugins.

Editor & IDE Support

Check editorconfig.org to see if your text editor or IDE has built-in support or requires a plugin. For convenience, here are some shortcuts to plugins for some commonly-used editors:

• Atom
• Emacs
• Sublime Text (via Package Control)
• Vim
• Visual Studio Code

Sample .editorconfig

Here’s a sample .editorconfig that can be dropped into your projects. The EditorConfig wiki includes a complete list of properties that you can use to customize your specific project.
