Editor Config, an INI¹ format based configuration system that let you establish project level coding standard; It allows configuring: indentation style, indentation size, line width and more.

What is EditorConfig solving?
Whenever we work in a team, we set up some ground rules to work efficiently; in the programming world, those ground rules are coding standard.
Coding standards may include:
Level 0 — Universal file text configuration: indentation style, line width, line ending, indentation size.
Level 1 — Programming languages based: block style, comment style, method naming, class naming.
Level 2 — Project Level Workflow: the process regarding development to deployment. It is more of the management side.
EditorConfig does support all of level-0 and some of level-1 configuration. Level 2 is out of scope for it (?).
