Working in a team, it is important to agree and stick to code standards. This helps a team in many ways:
- No disagreement between team members about code style - it's agreed already
- No need to spend your time thinking about code style - once it's agreed, you can focus on writing the code
Perhaps most importantly though:
- Once code standards are set, a Git commit shows only what changed in the way the code works and not what changed in the way the code looks
