autocorrect reformat indent tab vs space

[ghost]

I'm running swiftlint autocorrect --format to reformat the Swift files. But the linter was indenting using space while I'm using tab. Reading the source code I found the linter useTabs: false in the AutoCorrectCommand. But I don't know how to make that useTabs: true without cloning and recompile the code.

Is there any way user could change the useTabs in the autocorrect format config?

Thanks!

SwiftLint doesn't yet expose a way to format with tabs rather than spaces, but you could make a PR to add that option to AutoCorrectOptions: https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/blob/master/Source/swiftlint/Commands/AutoCorrectCommand.swift

I'd be happy to review that.

@jpsim Would this be added as a stand alone option for autocorrect, or would this be a child option of the --format option? Since using tabs over spaces requires the use of the --format option, I would think it'd make sense for a child command.

If so, how can a child option be added to --format?
