StyleCopAnalyzers VS codeformatter

Several well-known NuGet packages such as xUnit.net, FluentAssertions, StyleCop, Entity Framework Core, and others include by default a significant number of Roslyn analyzers. They help you adhere to the conventions and best practices of these libraries.

I created a StyleCopAnalysers.ruleset file at the root of my project, which contains the ruleset for analysis. The tool not only identifies issues but also attempts to fix them, providing a log of any unresolved problems. In addition to running the analyzer upon build, the dotnet format command also runs any external analyzers that it detects by default as well.

I'm a C# guy, so that is what I care about. For .NET we do have StyleCop analyzers. And EditorConfig exists to help at the IDE level across all languages. And git itself can be configured with such things as eol and autoclrf.

I'd also like to know how to clean up based on rules like SA1507 - never more than one blank line in a row, and related rules to remove blank likes after { and before }

StyleCop is from Microsoft: https://github.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers

Using their own APIs, Roslyn Analyzers verifies certain conditions about the source code and, if necessary, feeds back into the compiler in the form of compilation warnings and errors. An example would be StyleCop.

- StyleCopAnalyzers but I wasn't able to find an official CLI tool?

For the Code Formatter, I decided to go for dotnet-format over ReSharper and CodeFormatter. The main reason why I didn't choose CodeFormatter was because the last contribution to it was about 8 months ago, so to me, it just looked kind of suspicious... (is it an abandoned project now??) At first, I was going to choose ReSharper extension, but it seemed like it wasn't for free, so I started using dotnet-format, which was actively maintained and recommended by my classmate. After trying out for a while, I couldn't use dotnet-format to interact nicely with my linter StyleCop.Analyzer, so I decided to work with the ReSharper command line tools, which were for free. After running it, I noticed that it wasn't as good as I thought, so I kept researching and asking questions on how to make dotnet-format work with StyleCop. After a few hours of research and trying out stuff, dotnet-format finally worked with StyleCop.
