  A framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks.

  

Most importantly, pick a linter that can automatically fix it. I use pre-commit (https://pre-commit.com) for that. As a bonus, it supports other, language-specific linters.

  The uncompromising Python code formatter

  

One project you may be interested in is Black for python.

It's a code formatter that provides one style with very limited configuration. The idea being the rigidness removes bike shedding and forces consistency.

Of course you can use any code formatter and configure it to your liking, but there's something to be said about not giving the user levers to pull and argue about. Everyone just download Black, and you're good to go.

  EditorConfig plugin for Vim

  

Yes. Just because a decision that's enforced allows the conversation to move on to other things.

And to enforce it? Try https://editorconfig.org/ which is supported natively by many editors (eg Visual Studio) and via plugins in others (eg VS Code).
