  EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers
  working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig
  project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection
  of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere
  to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and work well with
  version control systems. The format uses an INI-style syntax compatible with
  the Python configparser library, with filepath glob patterns similar to
  gitignore.
