CLI Flags

--staged (only git)

Pre-commit mode. Under this flag only staged files will be formatted, and they will be re-staged after formatting.

Partially staged files will not be re-staged after formatting and pretty-quick will exit with a non-zero exit code. The intent is to abort the git commit and allow the user to amend their selective staging to include formatting fixes.

--no-restage (only git)

Use with the --staged flag to skip re-staging files after formatting.

--branch

When not in staged pre-commit mode, use this flag to compare changes with the specified branch. Defaults to master (git) / default (hg) branch.

--verbose

Outputs the name of each file right before it is proccessed. This can be useful if Prettier throws an error and you can't identify which file is causing the problem.

Configuration and Ignore Files

pretty-quick will respect your .prettierrc, .prettierignore, and .editorconfig files, so there's no additional setup required. Configuration files will be found by searching up the file system. .prettierignore files are only found from the repository root and the working directory that the command was executed from.
