# Implementation Summary: dotnet format Pre-Commit Rule
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
This implementation adds a mandatory rule to the FlinkDotNet project that ensures all code is automatically formatted using `dotnet format` before each commit.
5+
6+
## What Was Implemented
7+
8+
### 1. Development Rules Documentation
9+
**File:** `TODO/DEVELOPMENT_RULES.md`
10+
11+
A comprehensive document outlining 15 mandatory development rules, with **Rule #1** being:
12+
> **Always run `dotnet format` before committing** - MANDATORY, enforced by pre-commit hook
13+
14+
This document includes:
15+
- Clear explanations of why each rule exists
16+
- Manual execution instructions
17+
- Automated enforcement details
18+
- Troubleshooting guides
19+
- Installation instructions
20+
21+
### 2. Automated Pre-Commit Hook
22+
**File:** `scripts/pre-commit`
23+
24+
A bash script that automatically:
25+
- Detects all staged C# files
26+
- Runs `dotnet format` on affected solutions
27+
- Re-stages properly formatted files
28+
- Provides colored, user-friendly output
29+
- Handles errors gracefully
30+
31+
**Features:**
32+
- ✅ Only formats changed files (performance optimized)
33+
- ✅ Works with multiple solution files
34+
- ✅ Provides clear success/error messages
35+
- ✅ Can be bypassed in emergencies with `--no-verify`
36+
37+
### 3. Cross-Platform Installation Scripts
38+
39+
**Linux/macOS:** `scripts/install-git-hooks.sh`
40+
**Windows:** `scripts/install-git-hooks.ps1`
41+
42+
Both scripts:
43+
- Install the pre-commit hook automatically
44+
- Check for prerequisites (.NET SDK)
45+
- Backup existing hooks if present
46+
- Make hooks executable
47+
- Provide clear installation feedback
48+
49+
### 4. Documentation Updates
50+
51+
**Updated Files:**
52+
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` - Added section promoting automated pre-commit hook
53+
- `TODO/README.md` - Added Quick Links section referencing DEVELOPMENT_RULES.md
54+
- `scripts/README.md` - Created documentation for all git hook scripts
55+
- `docs/pre-commit-hook-testing.md` - Comprehensive testing guide
56+
57+
### 5. SonarCloud Code Smell Fixes
58+
59+
**Fixed 70 files with formatting issues:**
60+
- FlinkDotNet solution: 48 files
61+
- LocalTesting solution: 19 files
62+
- NativeFlinkDotnetTesting solution: 3 files
63+
64+
**Changes:**
65+
- 1,676 lines added (proper formatting)
66+
- 1,152 lines removed (improper formatting)
67+
- All whitespace formatting errors resolved
68+
69+
## Installation
70+
71+
Developers can install the pre-commit hook with a single command:
72+
73+
```bash
74+
# Linux/macOS
75+
./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh
76+
77+
# Windows
78+
.\scripts\install-git-hooks.ps1
79+
```
80+
81+
## How It Works
82+
83+
### Normal Workflow
84+
1. Developer makes changes to C# files
85+
2. Developer stages files: `git add file.cs`
86+
3. Developer commits: `git commit -m "Message"`
87+
4. **Pre-commit hook automatically runs:**
88+
- Detects staged C# files
89+
- Runs `dotnet format` on affected solutions
90+
- Re-stages formatted files
91+
- Proceeds with commit
92+
5. Properly formatted code is committed
93+
94+
### Example Output
95+
```
96+
Running pre-commit checks...
97+
Formatting changed C# files...
98+
Formatting solution: FlinkDotNet/FlinkDotNet.sln
99+
✓ Formatted: FlinkDotNet/FlinkDotNet.sln
100+
↳ Restaging: FlinkDotNet/Some/File.cs
101+
✓ Formatting complete. Formatted files have been restaged.
102+
✓ Pre-commit checks passed!
103+
```
104+
105+
## Benefits
106+
107+
