·1016 words·5 mins
TL;DR
Ruff replaces Flake8, Black, isort, and pydocstyle — one tool, 10–100× faster (written in Rust). Install: uv add --dev ruff or pip install ruff. Run: ruff check . (lint) and ruff format . (format). Add pre-commit hooks + GitHub Actions to enforce on every commit and PR. Pair with the Python CI Pipeline guide for the full uv + Ruff + ty setup. Writing clean, readable code is essential for collaboration and maintainability. Linters and formatters help us keep our codebase consistent and easy to understand.
