Usage

fix8 wraps flake8, so takes the same arguments. The easist way to use it is to pass the files or directories you want fixed directly to it:

fix8 project/ that.py this.py

Wrappers

If you have a large project you may want to wrap it, something like this:

fix8-local() {
    git diff --name-only --diff-filter=d | grep '\.py$' | sort --unique | xargs --no-run-if-empty fix8
}

This can be paired with isort to do both fixes with a single command:

# Put these functions in your `.bashrc` or similar
run-py-local() {
    git diff --name-only --diff-filter=d | grep '\.py$' | sort --unique | xargs --no-run-if-empty "$@"
}

fix8-local() {
    run-py-local fix8 && run-py-local isort
}

# Usage is then just this, but will detect and fix any changes that might need fixing
$ fix8-local
