Comment utiliser : .editorconfig Generator
- Choose a preset close to your project — Web, Node, Python, Go or a Makefile project.
- Adjust the defaults in the
[*]section: indent style and size, line endings, charset, whitespace rules. - Add or edit sections for specific files using globs like
*.md,*.{json,yml}orMakefile. - Download the file into your repository root. VS Code needs the EditorConfig extension; JetBrains IDEs support it out of the box.
EditorConfig properties
| Property | Values | Effect |
|---|---|---|
indent_style | space, tab | Spaces or tabs for indentation |
indent_size | 2, 4, tab | Width of one indentation level |
end_of_line | lf, crlf, cr | Line endings — use lf in most repos |
charset | utf-8, utf-8-bom, latin1… | File encoding |
trim_trailing_whitespace | true, false | Remove spaces at line ends on save |
insert_final_newline | true, false | Ensure files end with a newline |
max_line_length | number, off | Guide/hard wrap in supporting editors |
Why Markdown and Makefiles get their own sections
In Markdown two trailing spaces create a line break, so trim_trailing_whitespace = false for *.md. Makefiles require real tab characters for recipe lines, and Go’s gofmt uses tabs too. Python’s PEP 8 recommends 4 spaces.
EditorConfig vs Prettier
EditorConfig controls how your editor writes files as you type; formatters like Prettier rewrite them on save or in CI. They work together — Prettier even reads .editorconfig for indentation and line endings. Add the file next to your .gitignore and package.json, and format existing code with the JavaScript, CSS or HTML Formatter.

Questions fréquentes
Where do I put .editorconfig?
In the root of your repository. Editors look for .editorconfig files from the opened file’s folder upwards and stop at a file with root = true.
Does VS Code support EditorConfig?
Yes, with the official “EditorConfig for VS Code” extension. JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, Vim (9+/Neovim), Sublime (plugin) and many others support it too.
Tabs or spaces?
Follow your language’s convention: 2 spaces for JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSON and YAML; 4 spaces for Python, Java and C#; tabs for Go and Makefiles. Consistency inside one repository matters most.
Should I use LF or CRLF?
LF for almost every repository, including those developed on Windows — Git and modern editors handle it. Keep CRLF only for Windows-specific files like .bat or .cmd.
