description	Format C# files with CSharpier and verify the build passes. Use when formatting code, fixing build errors from formatting, or before committing changes.

Format specific files

dotnet csharpier format <file-or-directory>

Format all changed files

dotnet csharpier format .

Verify formatting passes the build

dotnet build

The build enforces CSharpier formatting — unformatted files cause build errors.

Configuration

Config file: .csharpierrc.yaml

• Print width: 120 characters
• Tab width: 4 spaces
• Use tabs: false

When to format

• Always format new or modified C# files before committing.
• Run on generated files (e.g., EF Core migrations) before committing.
• If the build fails with formatting errors, run dotnet csharpier format on the offending files.
