EditorConfig Generator

Create one formatting contract for many editors

EditorConfig gives editors a shared set of basic whitespace and encoding rules without tying a repository to one IDE. This generator writes the root declaration, global character set and line-ending settings, final-newline behavior, trailing-whitespace behavior, and one section for each file pattern you provide. Pattern rows explicitly choose space or tab indentation and a positive size.

The default produces a JavaScript section using two spaces and a Makefile section using tabs with size four, while all files inherit UTF-8, LF endings, a final newline, and trailing-space trimming. Each row is parsed as pattern, style, and size separated by pipes, so a missing value or unsupported style is reported rather than producing a malformed section.

Pattern sections and precedence

EditorConfig sections apply in file order, and a later matching section can override an earlier one. Language formatters such as Prettier can also impose stricter rules beyond this file. Generation occurs only in your browser and never inspects a repository. Review glob coverage, especially generated files and Makefiles, then place the output at the intended project root.
