1698838 - Create a convenience `mach format` alias to run formatters in mozlint

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

We currently have a whole bunch of formatters (rustfmt, clang-format, black, etc) that are integrated alongside our linters via mach lint. They can typically be run via ./mach lint --fix. This system works well for us, but it might cause a bit of confusion as developers can have different expectations of linters vs formatters (see discussion in bug 1511122).

I think it would be nice to have a simple wrapper around ./mach lint (similar to mach eslint). This alias would simply dispatch to ./mach lint --fix -l black -l rustfmt -l clang-format ..., but provides a clearer way for developers to run code formatters on their modules.
