Build an editorconfig conformance tool around binary

[colindean]

EditorConfig has a binary easily installed with Homebrew. This binary takes a path and splits out the config for that file. Build something around this and find or fd that

• Takes some file names
• Looks them up in editorconfig
• Runs them through some scripts that
  • end_of_line: Convert line endings to whatever is specified
  • insert_final_newline: Inserts a newline if it doesn't end with one
  • charset: Convert to the desired charset
  • trim_trailing_whitespace: Remove if specified
  • and so on
• Outputs a patch - it doesn't change the files on disk
• Exits non-zero when any patch is output, because any input file has changes needed to conform

It'd be invoked something like fd . --absolute-path --exec editorconfig-changes {} or fd . --absolute-path | editorconfig - | editorconfig_check-for-patch.

editorconfig if given just one file spits out key=value pairs but spits out INI (may be TOML?) when given multiple files, in the format

[/home/colin/Source/something/pandoc-crossref.yaml]
end_of_line=lf
insert_final_newline=true
charset="utf-8"
trim_trailing_whitespace="false"
[/home/colin/Source/something/refs.bibtex]
end_of_line=lf
insert_final_newline=true
charset="utf-8"
trim_trailing_whitespace="false"
