-## Code Formatting
-
-This repository uses `pre-commit` tool for code formatting.
-The tool checks formatting each time you commit to a repository.
-To install it locally use:
- ```
- pip3 install pre-commit # (prepend `sudo` if you want to install it system wide)
- ```
-
-To run it initially over the whole repo you can use:
- ```
- pre-commit run -a
- ```
-
-If you get error that something is missing on your computer, do the following for:
-
- - `clang-format-10`
- ```
- sudo apt install clang-format-10
- ```
