Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created on 2023-02-23. The README presents the tool as a general formatter for sorted blocks and documents installation through `go install` and pre-commit integration. Public GitHub releases began with the 0.1.x line in January 2024, followed by rapid feature growth around nested blocks, numeric sorting, YAML-style option lists, regex sorting, release binaries, and skip/group options.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Adoption is strongest in repositories that want deterministic ordering for generated-looking lists without adopting a language-specific formatter. The pre-commit hook documented in the README is the main adoption path: projects can enforce sorted blocks in review and CI while keeping the tool independent of file type.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users wrap a section of code, configuration, documentation, or data with keep-sorted markers and run `keep-sorted` over files or stdin. Options on the marker control grouping, block parsing, case sensitivity, duplicate removal, descending order, regex-based sorting, and blank-line handling.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

keep-sorted is package-nerdy because it solves a recurring maintenance itch with a tiny explicit contract: the source file says which lines are machine-sortable. That makes it a useful complement to gofmt-style whole-file formatters and to pre-commit-driven hygiene stacks.
