StyleBro

Roslyn analyzers and code fixes that keep C# code tidy. It's a modern alternative to StyleCop, built so that dotnet format fixes everything it reports.

StyleCop writes you a ticket. StyleBro just fixes it. Rule IDs use the BRO prefix.

  • Every rule has a code fix, and Fix All works. Fixes are written for dotnet format: deterministic, idempotent, and they converge in a single pass. One exception, on purpose: a rename that would break code only the fix can see (a name read by reflection, used in generated code) keeps its warning, and stylebro-migrate format lists it with the reason (Findings kept on purpose).
  • Don't duplicate the SDK. If a built-in IDE rule already covers a StyleCop rule, StyleBro uses that rule instead of shipping a copy: the preset sets its options and stylebro-migrate init turns it on in .editorconfig.
  • Configurable through .editorconfig, with a recommended preset shipped in the package.

Install

<PackageReference Include="StyleBro.Analyzers" Version="0.7.0-alpha.1" PrivateAssets="all" />

dotnet tool install --global StyleBro.Migrate --prerelease
stylebro-migrate init --write      # turns on the built-in rules StyleBro relies on, in .editorconfig
stylebro-migrate format            # whitespace + StyleBro's rules + those built-in rules

Coming from StyleCop? Run stylebro-migrate --write instead of init: see Migrating from StyleCop.
