USER: can i tell black to fix these automatically?
ASSISTANT: Yes, you can use the `black` code formatter to automatically fix formatting issues in your Python files. To do this, you need to have `black` installed. If you don't have it installed, you can install it using pip:
```
pip install black
```
Once `black` is installed, you can run it on a specific file or directory to automatically format the code:
```
black aider/coder.py
```
This command will format the `aider/coder.py` file according to the `black` code style. If you want to format all the Python files in your project, you can run `black` on the project directory:
```
black .
```
This command will format all the Python files in the current directory and its subdirectories.
USER: Please note that I shared content of these additional files: .pre-commit-config.yaml
ASSISTANT: Yes, I see the content of the .pre-commit-config.yaml file. It shows that you have already configured pre-commit hooks for `black` and `flake8`.
When you commit your changes, the pre-commit hooks will automatically run `black` to format your code and `flake8` to check for any linting issues. If there are any issues, the commit will be blocked, and you'll need to fix them before committing again.
To run the pre-commit hooks manually without committing, you can use the following command:
```
pre-commit run --all-files
```
This command will run all the configured hooks on all the files in your repository. If there

USER: can we configure black to shorten lines to less than 100 chars so flake8 doesn't complain about E501
ASSISTANT: Yes, you can configure `black` to use a specific line length by adding a `pyproject.toml` file to your project's root directory with the desired line length setting. Here's how to create and configure the `pyproject.toml` file:
```toml
pyproject.toml
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
=======
[tool.black]
line-length = 100
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This configuration sets the maximum line length for `black` to 100 characters, which will match the line length requirement of `flake8`. After adding this configuration, `black` will automatically format your code to keep lines within the specified limit.
