About the project

Prettier is opinionated formatter that rewrites source files to a consistent style. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

What to confirm beforehand

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Afterwards

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
