lua-smudger

Reindents Lua code during git checkout/commit

Goal

You prefer using indents with 2/3/4-space indents, but project standard is 2/3/4 spaces. This will convert to and fro for you, using git smudge/clean

To install/configure

Pre-requisites

• have python installed, and available at /usr/bin/python (or modify the first line of lua_indents.py so it is true)

.gitattributes

Create a file ~/.gitattributes, and add the following lines:

*.lua filter=luaindent

.gitconfig

In your ~/.gitconfig file, add following lines:

[filter "luaindent"]
	smudge = /path/to/lua_indents.py indent=2
	clean = /path/to/lua_indents.py indent=3

[core]
	attributesfile = /path/to/.gitattributes

Notes:

• Replace anything with /path/to with the appropriate path.
• You can configure the indentation in the [filter] section above. In this case above, the repo has 3 spaces, and you see 2 spaces.

lua_indents.py

Make sure it is executable
