+_Black_ is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede
+control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return, _Black_ gives you speed,
+determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle` nagging about formatting. You will save time
+and mental energy for more important matters.
+
+Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting
+becomes transparent after a while and you can focus on the content instead.

-## Installation and Usage
+---
+
+## Installation and usage
### Installation
-*Black* can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires
-Python 3.6.0+ to run but you can reformat Python 2 code with it, too.
+_Black_ can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires Python 3.6.2+ to
+run. If you want to format Python 2 code as well, install with
+`pip install black[python2]`.
+
+#### Install from GitHub
+If you can't wait for the latest _hotness_ and want to install from GitHub, use:
+
+`pip install git+git://github.com/psf/black`
### Usage
To get started right away with sensible defaults:
-```
+```sh
black {source_file_or_directory}
```
-### Command line options
+You can run _Black_ as a package if running it as a script doesn't work:
-Black doesn't provide many options. You can list them by running
-`black --help`:
-
-```text
-black [OPTIONS] [SRC]...
-
-Options:
- -l, --line-length INTEGER Where to wrap around. [default: 88]
- --check Don't write the files back, just return the
- status. Return code 0 means nothing would
- change. Return code 1 means some files would be
- reformatted. Return code 123 means there was an
- internal error.
- --diff Don't write the files back, just output a diff
- for each file on stdout.
- --fast / --safe If --fast given, skip temporary sanity checks.
- [default: --safe]
- -q, --quiet Don't emit non-error messages to stderr. Errors
- are still emitted, silence those with
- 2>/dev/null.
- --version Show the version and exit.
- --help Show this message and exit.
+```sh
+python -m black {source_file_or_directory}
```
-*Black* is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
-* it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
-* it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-`
- is used as the filename;
-* it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
-* exits with code 0 unless an internal error occured (or `--check` was
- used).
-
+### Command line options
-### NOTE: This is an early pre-release
+_Black_ doesn't provide many options. You can list them by running `black --help`:
-*Black* can already successfully format itself and the standard library.
-It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very new.
-Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit by the
-"Alpha" trove classifier, as well as by the "a" in the version number.
-What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**.
+```text
+Usage: black [OPTIONS] [SRC]...
-Also, as a temporary safety measure, *Black* will check that the
-reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the
-original. This slows it down. If you're feeling confident, use
-``--fast``.
+ The uncompromising code formatter.
+Options:
+ -c, --code TEXT Format the code passed in as a string.
+ -l, --line-length INTEGER How many characters per line to allow.
+ [default: 88]
+
+ -t, --target-version [py27|py33|py34|py35|py36|py37|py38|py39]
+ Python versions that should be supported by
+ Black's output. [default: per-file auto-
+ detection]
+
+ --pyi Format all input files like typing stubs
+ regardless of file extension (useful when
+ piping source on standard input).
+
+ -S, --skip-string-normalization
+ Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes.
+ -C, --skip-magic-trailing-comma
+ Don't use trailing commas as a reason to
+ split lines.
+
+ --check Don't write the files back, just return the
+ status. Return code 0 means nothing would
+ change. Return code 1 means some files
+ would be reformatted. Return code 123 means
+ there was an internal error.
+
+ --diff Don't write the files back, just output a
+ diff for each file on stdout.
+
+ --color / --no-color Show colored diff. Only applies when
+ `--diff` is given.
+
+ --fast / --safe If --fast given, skip temporary sanity
+ checks. [default: --safe]
+
+ --include TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
+ directories that should be included on
+ recursive searches. An empty value means
+ all files are included regardless of the
+ name. Use forward slashes for directories
+ on all platforms (Windows, too). Exclusions
+ are calculated first, inclusions later.
+ [default: \.pyi?$]
+
+ --exclude TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
+ directories that should be excluded on
+ recursive searches. An empty value means no
+ paths are excluded. Use forward slashes for
+ directories on all platforms (Windows, too).
+ Exclusions are calculated first, inclusions
+ later. [default: /(\.direnv|\.eggs|\.git|\.
+ hg|\.mypy_cache|\.nox|\.tox|\.venv|venv|\.sv
+ n|_build|buck-out|build|dist)/]
+
+ --extend-exclude TEXT Like --exclude, but adds additional files
+ and directories on top of the excluded
+ ones (useful if you simply want to add to
+ the default).
+
+ --force-exclude TEXT Like --exclude, but files and directories
+ matching this regex will be excluded even
+ when they are passed explicitly as
+ arguments.
+
+
+ --stdin-filename TEXT The name of the file when passing it through
+ stdin. Useful to make sure Black will
+ respect --force-exclude option on some
+ editors that rely on using stdin.
+
+ -q, --quiet Don't emit non-error messages to stderr.
+ Errors are still emitted; silence those with
+ 2>/dev/null.
+
+ -v, --verbose Also emit messages to stderr about files
+ that were not changed or were ignored due to
+ exclusion patterns.
+
+ --version Show the version and exit.
+ --config FILE Read configuration from FILE path.
+ -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+```
-## The *Black* code style
+_Black_ is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
-*Black* reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It
-doesn't take previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat
-blocks that start with `# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`. It also
-recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments to
-the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.
+- it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
+- it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-` is used as the
+ filename;
+- it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
+- exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was used).
+### Using _Black_ with other tools
-### How *Black* wraps lines
+While _Black_ enforces formatting that conforms to PEP 8, other tools may raise warnings
+about _Black_'s changes or will overwrite _Black_'s changes. A good example of this is
+[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort). Since _Black_ is barely configurable, these tools
+should be configured to neither warn about nor overwrite _Black_'s changes.
-*Black* ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal
-and vertical whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal
-whitespace are pretty obvious and can be summarized as: do whatever
-makes `pycodestyle` happy. The coding style used by *Black* can be
-viewed as a strict subset of PEP 8.
+Actual details on _Black_ compatible configurations for various tools can be found in
+[compatible_configs](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/compatible_configs.md#black-compatible-configurations).
-As for vertical whitespace, *Black* tries to render one full expression
-or simple statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length,
-great.
-```py3
-# in:
+### Migrating your code style without ruining git blame
-l = [1,
- 2,
- 3,
-]
+A long-standing argument against moving to automated code formatters like _Black_ is
+that the migration will clutter up the output of `git blame`. This was a valid argument,
+but since Git version 2.23, Git natively supports
+[ignoring revisions in blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-blame.txt---ignore-revltrevgt)
+with the `--ignore-rev` option. You can also pass a file listing the revisions to ignore
+using the `--ignore-revs-file` option. The changes made by the revision will be ignored
+when assigning blame. Lines modified by an ignored revision will be blamed on the
+previous revision that modified those lines.
-# out:
+So when migrating your project's code style to _Black_, reformat everything and commit
+the changes (preferably in one massive commit). Then put the full 40 characters commit
+identifier(s) into a file.
-l = [1, 2, 3]
```
-
-If not, *Black* will look at the contents of the first outer matching
-brackets and put that in a separate indented line.
-```py3
-# in:
-
-l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]]
-
-# out:
-
-l = [
- [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]
-]
+# Migrate code style to Black
+5b4ab991dede475d393e9d69ec388fd6bd949699
```
-If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal
-expression further using the same rule, indenting matching brackets
-every time. If the contents of the matching brackets pair are
-comma-separated (like an argument list, or a dict literal, and so on)
-then *Black* will first try to keep them on the same line with the
-matching brackets. If that doesn't work, it will put all of them in
-separate lines.
-```py3
-# in:
-
-def very_important_function(template: str, *variables, file: os.PathLike, debug: bool = False):
- """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
- with open(file, 'w') as f:
- ...
-
-# out:
-
-def very_important_function(
- template: str,
- *variables,
- file: os.PathLike,
- debug: bool = False,
-):
- """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
- with open(file, "w") as f:
- ...
-```
+Afterwards, you can pass that file to `git blame` and see clean and meaningful blame
+information.
-You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and
-that a trailing comma is always added. Such formatting produces smaller
-diffs; when you add or remove an element, it's always just one line.
-Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a clear delimiter
-between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same
-indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the
-example above).
-
-
-### Line length
-
-You probably noticed the peculiar default line length. *Black* defaults
-to 88 characters per line, which happens to be 10% over 80. This number
-was found to produce significantly shorter files than sticking with 80
-(the most popular), or even 79 (used by the standard library). In
-general, [90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260).
-
-If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass
-`--line-length` with a lower number. *Black* will try to respect that.
-However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules. In
-those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit.
-
-You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities
-find it harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters.
-It also adversely affects side-by-side diff review on typical screen
-resolutions. Long lines also make it harder to present code neatly
-in documentation or talk slides.
-
-If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget
-about it. Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s
-B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which
-you are probably already using. You'd do it like this:
-```ini
-[flake8]
-max-line-length = 80
-...
-select = C,E,F,W,B,B950
-ignore = E501
+```console
+$ git blame important.py --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs
+7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 1) def very_important_function(text, file):
+abdfd8b0 (Alice Doe 2019-09-23 11:39:32 -0400 2) text = text.lstrip()
+7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 3) with open(file, "r+") as f:
+7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 4) f.write(formatted)
```
-You'll find *Black*'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this.
-If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950, Bugbear's documentation
-explains it. The tl;dr is "it's like highway speed limits, we won't
-bother you if you overdo it by a few km/h".
-
-
-### Empty lines
-
-*Black* avoids spurious vertical whitespace. This is in the spirit of
-PEP 8 which says that in-function vertical whitespace should only be
-used sparingly. One exception is control flow statements: *Black* will
-always emit an extra empty line after ``return``, ``raise``, ``break``,
-``continue``, and ``yield``. This is to make changes in control flow
-more prominent to readers of your code.
-
-*Black* will allow single empty lines inside functions, and single and
-double empty lines on module level left by the original editors, except
-when they're within parenthesized expressions. Since such expressions
-are always reformatted to fit minimal space, this whitespace is lost.
-
-It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions.
-It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and
-after module-level functions. *Black* will put those empty lines also
-between the function definition and any standalone comments that
-immediately precede the given function. If you want to comment on the
-entire function, use a docstring or put a leading comment in the function
-body.
-
-
-### Trailing commas
-
-*Black* will add trailing commas to expressions that are split
-by comma where each element is on its own line. This includes function
-signatures.
-
-Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one
-line. This makes it 1% more likely that your line won't exceed the
-allotted line length limit. Moreover, in this scenario, if you added
-another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the same line
-anyway. That doesn't make diffs any larger.
-
-One exception to removing trailing commas is tuple expressions with
-just one element. In this case *Black* won't touch the single trailing
-comma as this would unexpectedly change the underlying data type. Note
-that this is also the case when commas are used while indexing. This is
-a tuple in disguise: ```numpy_array[3, ]```.
-
-One exception to adding trailing commas is function signatures
-containing `*`, `*args`, or `**kwargs`. In this case a trailing comma
-is only safe to use on Python 3.6. *Black* will detect if your file is
-already 3.6+ only and use trailing commas in this situation. If you
-wonder how it knows, it looks for f-strings and existing use of trailing
-commas in function signatures that have stars in them. In other words,
-if you'd like a trailing comma in this situation and *Black* didn't
-recognize it was safe to do so, put it there manually and *Black* will
-keep it.
-
-### Strings
-
-*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
-and `'''`). It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
-does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
-
-The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
-Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
-It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
-string literals that ended up on the same line (see
-[#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details).
-
-Why settle on double quotes? They anticipate apostrophes in English
-text. They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257. An
-empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with
-a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used.
-On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
-Python interacts a lot with.
-
-On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is
-a bit easier than double quotes. The latter requires use of the Shift
-key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
-and let *Black* handle the transformation.
-
-
-## Editor integration
-
-### Emacs
+You can even configure `git` to automatically ignore revisions listed in a file on every
+call to `git blame`.
-Use [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken).
-
-
-### Vim
-
-Commands and shortcuts:
-
-* `,=` or `:Black` to format the entire file (ranges not supported);
-* `:BlackUpgrade` to upgrade *Black* inside the virtualenv;
-* `:BlackVersion` to get the current version of *Black* inside the
- virtualenv.
+```console
+$ git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
+```
-Configuration:
-* `g:black_fast` (defaults to `0`)
-* `g:black_linelength` (defaults to `88`)
-* `g:black_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black`)
+**The one caveat is that GitHub and GitLab do not yet support ignoring revisions using
+their native UI of blame.** So blame information will be cluttered with a reformatting
+commit on those platforms. (If you'd like this feature, there's an open issue for
+[GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423) and please let GitHub
+know!)
-To install, copy the plugin from [vim/plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/ambv/black/tree/master/vim/plugin/black.vim).
-Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin
-`packadd`, or Pathogen, or Vundle, and so on.
+### NOTE: This is a beta product
-This plugin **requires Vim 7.0+ built with Python 3.6+ support**. It
-needs Python 3.6 to be able to run *Black* inside the Vim process which
-is much faster than calling an external command.
+_Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by many
+projects, small and big. It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very
+new. Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit by the "Beta"
+trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number. What this means for you
+is that **until the formatter becomes stable, you should expect some formatting to
+change in the future**. That being said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned,
+mostly responses to bug reports.
-On first run, the plugin creates its own virtualenv using the right
-Python version and automatically installs *Black*. You can upgrade it later
-by calling `:BlackUpgrade` and restarting Vim.
+Also, as a safety measure which slows down processing, _Black_ will check that the
+reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is effectively equivalent to the
+original (see the
+[Pragmatism](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism)
+section for details). If you're feeling confident, use `--fast`.
+
+## The _Black_ code style
+
+_Black_ is a PEP 8 compliant opinionated formatter. _Black_ reformats entire files in
+place. It is not configurable. It doesn't take previous formatting into account. Your
+main option of configuring _Black_ is that it doesn't reformat blocks that start with
+`# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`, or lines that ends with `# fmt: skip`. Pay
+attention that `# fmt: on/off` have to be on the same level of indentation. To learn
+more about _Black_'s opinions, to go
+[the_black_code_style](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md).
+
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue. What seems like a bug might be
+intended behaviour.
+
+## Pragmatism
+
+Early versions of _Black_ used to be absolutist in some respects. They took after its
+initial author. This was fine at the time as it made the implementation simpler and
+there were not many users anyway. Not many edge cases were reported. As a mature tool,
+_Black_ does make some exceptions to rules it otherwise holds. This
+[section](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism)
+of `the_black_code_style` describes what those exceptions are and why this is the case.
+
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue just like with the document
+above. What seems like a bug might be intended behaviour.
+
+## pyproject.toml
+
+_Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options
+from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom
+`--include` and `--exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your project.
+
+**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is
+"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults.
+
+### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file?
+
+[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines `pyproject.toml` as a
+configuration file to store build system requirements for Python projects. With the help
+of tools like [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) or
+[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the need for
+`setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files.
+
+### Where _Black_ looks for the file
+
+By default _Black_ looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common base directory of
+all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in
+parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a
+`.hg` directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first.
+
+If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from
+the current working directory.
+
+You can use a "global" configuration, stored in a specific location in your home
+directory. This will be used as a fallback configuration, that is, it will be used if
+and only if _Black_ doesn't find any configuration as mentioned above. Depending on your
+operating system, this configuration file should be stored as:
+
+- Windows: `~\.black`
+- Unix-like (Linux, MacOS, etc.): `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/black` (`~/.config/black` if the
+ `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` environment variable is not set)
+
+Note that these are paths to the TOML file itself (meaning that they shouldn't be named
+as `pyproject.toml`), not directories where you store the configuration. Here, `~`
+refers to the path to your home directory. On Windows, this will be something like
+`C:\\Users\UserName`.
+
+You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with
+`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file.
+
+If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if a file was found and
+used.
+
+Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration.
+
+### Configuration format
+
+As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a
+[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for
+different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the
+same as long names of options on the command line.
+
+Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's
+the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular
+expressions by Black. Use `[ ]` to denote a significant space character.
+
+
+Example pyproject.toml
+
+```toml
+[tool.black]
+line-length = 88
+target-version = ['py37']
+include = '\.pyi?$'
+extend-exclude = '''
+# A regex preceded with ^/ will apply only to files and directories
+# in the root of the project.
+^/foo.py # exclude a file named foo.py in the root of the project (in addition to the defaults)
+'''
+```
-If you need to do anything special to make your virtualenv work and
-install *Black* (for example you want to run a version from master), just
-create a virtualenv manually and point `g:black_virtualenv` to it.
-The plugin will use it.
+
-**How to get Vim with Python 3.6?**
-On Ubuntu 17.10 Vim comes with Python 3.6 by default.
-On macOS with HomeBrew run: `brew install vim --with-python3`.
-When building Vim from source, use:
-`./configure --enable-python3interp=yes`. There's many guides online how
-to do this.
+### Lookup hierarchy
+Command-line options have defaults that you can see in `--help`. A `pyproject.toml` can
+override those defaults. Finally, options provided by the user on the command line
+override both.
-### Visual Studio Code
+_Black_ will only ever use one `pyproject.toml` file during an entire run. It doesn't

+_Black_ can be integrated into many editors with plugins. They let you run _Black_ on
+your code with the ease of doing it in your editor. To get started using _Black_ in your
+editor of choice, please see
+[editor_integration](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/editor_integration.md).
-### Other editors
+Patches are welcome for editors without an editor integration or plugin! More
+information can be found in
+[editor_integration](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/editor_integration.md#other-editors).
-Atom/Nuclide integration is planned by the author, others will
-require external contributions.

-Patches welcome! ⨠ð° â¨
+`blackd` is a small HTTP server that exposes Black's functionality over a simple
+protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the cost of starting up a new
+Black process every time you want to blacken a file. Please refer to
+[blackd](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/blackd.md) to get the ball
+rolling.
-Any tool that can pipe code through *Black* using its stdio mode (just
-[use `-` as the file name](http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html#DASHREF2)).
-The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was
-passed). *Black* will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn't
-affect your use case.
+## black-primer
-This can be used for example with PyCharm's [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
+`black-primer` is a tool built for CI (and humans) to have _Black_ `--check` a number of
+(configured in `primer.json`) Git accessible projects in parallel.
+[black_primer](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/black_primer.md) has more
+information regarding its usage and configuration.

-## Change Log
-
-### 18.4a1
-
-* added `--quiet` (#78)
-
-* added [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) integration (#103, #104)
-
-* fixed reporting on `--check` with multiple files (#101, #102)
-
-* fixed removing backslash escapes from raw strings (#100, #105)
-
-### 18.4a0
-
-* added `--diff` (#87)
-
-* add line breaks before all delimiters, except in cases like commas, to
- better comply with PEP 8 (#73)
-
-* standardize string literals to use double quotes (almost) everywhere
- (#75)
+### Inputs
-* fixed handling of standalone comments within nested bracketed
- expressions; Black will no longer produce super long lines or put all
- standalone comments at the end of the expression (#22)
+#### `black_args`
-* fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with
- trailing whitespace (#80)
+**optional**: Black input arguments. Defaults to `. --check --diff`.
-* fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment
- would cause Black to not emit the rest of the file (#95)
+## Ignoring unmodified files
-* when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, Black no longer
- freaks out with a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
+_Black_ remembers files it has already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
+code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact
+location of the file depends on the _Black_ version and the system on which _Black_ is
+run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems is:
-* only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty
- lines within functions (#74)
+- Windows:
+ `C:\\Users\\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\\cache...pickle`
+- macOS:
+ `/Users//Library/Caches/black//cache...pickle`
+- Linux:
+ `/home//.cache/black//cache...pickle`
+`file-mode` is an int flag that determines whether the file was formatted as 3.6+ only,
+as .pyi, and whether string normalization was omitted.
-### 18.3a4
+To override the location of these files on macOS or Linux, set the environment variable
+`XDG_CACHE_HOME` to your preferred location. For example, if you want to put the cache
+in the directory you're running _Black_ from, set `XDG_CACHE_HOME=.cache`. _Black_ will
+then write the above files to `.cache/black//`.
-* `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5)
+## Used by
-* automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements
- and exec statements in the formatted file (#49)
+The following notable open-source projects trust _Black_ with enforcing a consistent
+code style: pytest, tox, Pyramid, Django Channels, Hypothesis, attrs, SQLAlchemy,
+Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Bandersnatch, Pipenv, virtualenv), pandas, Pillow,
+every Datadog Agent Integration, Home Assistant, Zulip.
-* use proper spaces for complex expressions in default values of typed
- function arguments (#60)
+The following organizations use _Black_: Facebook, Dropbox, Mozilla, Quora.
-* only return exit code 1 when --check is used (#50)
+Are we missing anyone? Let us know.
-* don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing
- (#59)
-
-* don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math
- operator (#55)
-
-* omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46)
-
-* omit extra space in [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute)
- (#68)
-
-
-### 18.3a3
-
-* don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions
- (#19)
-
-* added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
-
-* restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as
- a name (#20, #42)
-
-* even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
-
-
-### 18.3a2
+## Testimonials
-* changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines
- instead of at the end, following [a recent change to PEP8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
- (#21)
+**Dusty Phillips**,
+[writer](https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dusty+phillips):
-* ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly
- looking formattings (#34, #35)
+> _Black_ is opinionated so you don't have to be.
-* remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
+**Hynek Schlawack**, [creator of `attrs`](https://www.attrs.org/), core developer of
+Twisted and CPython:
-* if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four
- empty lines after the upper function
+> An auto-formatter that doesn't suck is all I want for Xmas!
-* fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
+**Carl Meyer**, [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) core developer:
-* fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments
- into last statement if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
+> At least the name is good.
-* fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
+**Kenneth Reitz**, creator of [`requests`](http://python-requests.org/) and
+[`pipenv`](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pipenv/):
-* fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
+> This vastly improves the formatting of our code. Thanks a ton!

-### 18.3a1
+Use the badge in your project's README.md:
-* added `--check`
+```md
+[](https://github.com/psf/black)
+```
-* only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's
- safe to do so. If the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise
- only safe if there are no `*args` or `**kwargs` used in the signature
- or call. (#8)
+Using the badge in README.rst:
-* fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
+```
+.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg

-* fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops
- (#23)
+Looks like this:
+[](https://github.com/psf/black)
-* fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
+## License
-* fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default
- arguments (#14, #17)

-* fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was
- a complex expression (#15)
