beman-tidy: The Codebase Bemanification Tool

beman-tidy is a tool aimed at Beman Project contributors to check (--dry-run) and apply (--fix-inplace) the Beman Standard to their repositories.

Note 2025-06-07: The first iteration of the tool will not support --fix-inplace in order to expedite adoption across the Beman Project.

Usage

• Display help:

$ beman-tidy --help
usage: beman-tidy [-h] [--fix-inplace | --no-fix-inplace] [--verbose | --no-verbose] [--require-all | --no-require-all] [--checks CHECKS] repo_path

positional arguments:
  repo_path             path to the repository to check

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --fix-inplace, --no-fix-inplace
                        Try to automatically fix found issues
  --verbose, --no-verbose
                        print verbose output for each check
  --require-all, --no-require-all
                        all checks are required regardless of the check type (e.g., Recommendation becomes Requirement)
  --checks CHECKS       array of checks to run
