ClangFormat is a code formatting tool that helps maintain common code style across team members and IDEs. It provides an option to store formatting settings in special YAML files named .clang-format or _clang-format. In CLion, you can use ClangFormat as an alternative to the built-in code formatter.
ClangFormat offers many style options, which you can mix to create the set of rules most suitable for your team. It also provides several built-in styles for C/C++: LLVM, Google, WebKit, Chromium, and Mozilla. These predefined styles can be used as is or as a baseline for your custom set of style definitions.
