It’s a great idea. And I’m surprised how personal it is for me :) Code readability is top priority for me. I’m sure we will find the clang-format settings which suits us.

Automatic checks if the recently touched files (e.g files from the current MR) were reformatted will definitely help us. At first this will add some unreadable diffs. But later it will be a refreshing breeze :)
