What are the best practices for configuring Black?

What are the best practices for configuring Black in my Python project?

To configure Black effectively, ensure you have a pyproject.toml file in your project root. This file allows you to customize settings like line length and formatting options.

What should I set the line length to?

The default line length for Black is 88 characters, but you can adjust it in your pyproject.toml if your team has specific guidelines.

Can I exclude certain files or directories from being formatted?

Yes, you can use the exclude option in your pyproject.toml to specify patterns for files or directories that Black should ignore.

Is there a way to check what changes Black would make without applying them?

Absolutely! You can run Black with the --check option to see what changes would be made without actually formatting the code.
