The behaviour of
astyle
varies across versions and platforms, which means it can sometimes be a pain to get PRs to pass CI formatting checks. This PR adds a convenience script which runsastyle
over local code in the CI Docker image, ensuring that local formatting matches what's expected by CI.My hope is that this script will reduce friction for new contributors and busywork for regular ones. I've been using this approach for a while myself.
