Everything about EditorConfig
Specification and file format
EditorConfig is an open specification and file format for syntax highlighting, text editors and integrated development environment (IDEs) that aims to maintain a consistent coding style, particularly aimed at groups working together. It can help keep multiple editors as well as individuals using the same conventions. It stores configurations in a file which can be shared by multiple people or used in multiple editors. It defines rules for how to format different programming languages or other structured text files with conventions such as what character to end a line with and how to manage indentation. Wikipedia →
