Last active March 12, 2024 21:04
This .editorconfig file should live in the repository and be committed to source control. This file should not contain personal preference settings like `indent_size`, as those should be specified in a parent .editorconfig file outside of the repository.
# This file should only include settings that affect the physical contents of the file, not just how it appears in an editor.
# Do not include personal preference presentation settings like a tab's `indent_size` in this file; those should be specified
