Brian #1: mdformat
- Suggested by Matthias Schöttle
- Last episode Michael covered blacken-docs, and I mentioned it’d be nice to have an autoformatter for text markdown.
- Matthias delivered with suggesting mdformat
- “Mdformat is an opinionated Markdown formatter that can be used to enforce a consistent style in Markdown files.”
- A python project that can be run on the command line.
- Uses a style guide I mostly agree with.
- I’m not a huge fan of numbered list items all being “1.”, but that can be turned off with --number, so I’m happy.
- Converts underlined headings to #, ##, etc. headings.
- Lots of other sane conventions.
- The numbering thing is also sane, I just think it also makes the raw markdown hard to read.
- Has a plugin system to format code blocks
Michael #2: pre-commit-uv
- via Ben Falk
- Use uv to create virtual environments and install packages for pre-commit.
Brian #3: PEP 758 and 781
Michael #4: Serie: rich git commit graph in your terminal, like magic 
- While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs.
- Others may find git log --graph sufficient.
- Goals
- Provide a rich git log --graph experience in the terminal.
- Offer commit graph-centric browsing of Git repositories.
