hk util end-of-file-fixer

• Usage: hk util end-of-file-fixer [-d --diff] [-f --fix] <FILES>…
• Effect: modifies state

Check for and optionally fix missing final newlines

A missing final newline is added as the file's most frequent line ending, so a CRLF file gets CRLF. Every line ending in the file counts, as in mixed-line-ending, and a tie gives LF. Trailing blank lines, LF or CRLF, are removed. A file that already ends with exactly one newline is left as it is.

Arguments

• <FILES>… — Files to check/fix

Flags

• -d --diff — Output a diff of the change. Cannot use with fix.
• -f --fix — Fix files to end with exactly one newline
• -h --help — Print help

Examples

Check first, or request an in-place fix explicitly.
