dotnet format
- Formats code to match editorconfig
settings.
dotnet format [<PROJECT | SOLUTION>] [command] [options]
dotnet format -h|--help
dotnet format
is a code formatter that applies style preferences and static analysis recommendations to a project or solution. Preferences will be read from an .editorconfig file, if present, otherwise a default set of preferences will be used. For more information, see the EditorConfig documentation.
PROJECT | SOLUTION
The MSBuild project or solution to run code formatting on. If a project or solution file is not specified, MSBuild searches the current working directory for a file that has a file extension that ends in proj or sln, and uses that file.
None of the options below are required for the dotnet format
command to succeed, but you can use them to further customize what is formatted and by which rules.
--diagnostics <DIAGNOSTICS>
A space-separated list of diagnostic IDs to use as a filter when fixing code style or third-party issues. Default value is whichever IDs are listed in the .editorconfig file. For a list of built-in analyzer rule IDs that you can specify, see the list of IDs for code-analysis style rules.
--severity
The minimum severity of diagnostics to fix. Allowed values are
info
,warn
, anderror
. The default value iswarn
.--no-restore
Doesn't execute an implicit restore before formatting. Default is to do implicit restore.
--verify-no-changes
Verifies that no formatting changes would be performed. Terminates with a non zero exit code if any files would have been formatted.
--include <INCLUDE>
A space-separated list of relative file or folder paths to include in formatting. The default is all files in the solution or project.
--exclude <EXCLUDE>
A space-separated list of relative file or folder paths to exclude from formatting. The default is none.
--include-generated
Formats files generated by the SDK.
-v|--verbosity <LEVEL>
Sets the verbosity level. Allowed values are
q[uiet]
,m[inimal]
,n[ormal]
,d[etailed]
, anddiag[nostic]
. Default value ism[inimal]
.--binarylog <BINARY-LOG-PATH>
Logs all project or solution load information to a binary log file.
--report <REPORT-PATH>
Produces a JSON report in the directory specified by
<REPORT_PATH>
.-h|--help
Shows help and usage information

argument as a path to a simple folder of code files.

The dotnet format style
subcommand only runs formatting rules associated with code style formatting. For a complete list of formatting options that you can specify in your editorconfig
file, see Code style rules.
--diagnostics <DIAGNOSTICS>
A space-separated list of diagnostic IDs to use as a filter when fixing code style issues. Default value is whichever IDs are listed in the .editorconfig file. For a list of built-in code style analyzer rule IDs that you can specify, see the list of IDs for code-analysis style rules.
--severity
The minimum severity of diagnostics to fix. Allowed values are
info
,warn
, anderror
. The default value iswarn
dotnet format analyzers
- Formats code to match editorconfig
settings for analyzers (excluding code style rules).
The dotnet format analyzers
subcommand only runs formatting rules associated with analyzers. For a list of analyzer rules that you can specify in your editorconfig
file, see Quality rules.
--diagnostics <DIAGNOSTICS>
A space-separated list of diagnostic IDs to use as a filter when fixing non code style issues. Default value is whichever IDs are listed in the .editorconfig file. For a list of built-in analyzer rule IDs that you can specify, see the list of IDs for quality rules. For third-party analyzers refer to their documentation.
--severity
The minimum severity of diagnostics to fix. Allowed values are
info
,warn
, anderror
. The default value iswarn
.
Format all code in the solution:
dotnet format ./solution.sln
Clean up all code in the application project:
dotnet format ./src/application.csproj
Verify that all code is correctly formatted:
dotnet format --verify-no-changes
Clean up all code in the src and tests directory but not in src/submodule-a:
dotnet format --include ./src/ ./tests/ --exclude ./src/submodule-a/
Fix a specific code style issue:
dotnet format style --diagnostics IDE0005 --severity info
Fix all code style issues that have severity
info
,warning
orerror
:dotnet format style --severity info
Fix a specific (non code style) analyzer issue:
