clang-tools Python distribution

This project provides Python wheels for clang-tools including clang-format, clang-tidy, making them easy to install via pip.

We aim to publish wheels for each major and minor release of clang-format and clang-tidy.

Use with pipx or uv

You can install clang-format or clang-tidy via pipx or uv:

pipx install git+https://github.com/cpp-linter/clang-tools-wheel.git#subdirectory=clang-format
pipx install git+https://github.com/cpp-linter/clang-tools-wheel.git#subdirectory=clang-tidy

Use from pre-commit

pre-commit hooks are available for both clang-format and clang-tidy.

Example .pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-hooks
    rev: v1.1.3
    hooks:
      - id: clang-format
        args: [--style=file]  # Loads style from .clang-format file
      - id: clang-tidy
        args: [--checks=.clang-tidy] # Loads checks from .clang-tidy file
