Closes #132

Adds an .editorconfig to enforce:

  • Tabs for .go files
  • 2 spaces for .yml, .yaml, and .md files
  • LF line endings, final newlines, and trimming trailing whitespace.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Example build, Docker, and test workflows now stop when a command fails or a required variable is missing, helping surface problems promptly.
    • Markdown files now follow the shared whitespace formatting rule.

…89#131)

Adds `set -euo pipefail` to all example shell scripts so they fail fast
when a command fails, making the developer experience clearer for new
contributors.

Resolves dmarro89#131.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates whitespace rules in .editorconfig and enables strict error handling in three example shell scripts.

Changes

EditorConfig rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
EditorConfig whitespace rules
.editorconfig
Markdown now uses the global trailing-whitespace setting. Explicit indentation rules for shell scripts, Makefiles, and Python were removed. Go and YAML indentation settings remain.

Example script error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enable strict shell options
examples/build_and_run.sh, examples/run_docker.sh, examples/test_all.sh
All three scripts now enable errexit, nounset, and pipefail.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1c42d

Saving the README can change a hard break to a soft break, and editing a Makefile recipe may leave it invalid for make. These are bounded editing risks with straightforward fixes; preserve both conventions or explicitly accept the risks.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — examples (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in examples/build_and_run.sh: The script now enables errexit, nounset, and pipefail behavior.
  • observed — Modified behavior in examples/run_docker.sh: The script now exits on command failure, treats unset variables as errors, and fails pipelines when any command fails.
  • observed — Modified behavior in examples/test_all.sh: The script enables set -euo pipefail before running tests.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .editorconfig: The configuration now groups Markdown with YAML and removes the explicit Markdown whitespace-trimming override, so Markdown uses the global true setting. Explicit indentation sections for shell scripts, Makefiles, and Python were removed; Go and YAML indentation settings remain.

Explanation

The pull request objective concerns .editorconfig whitespace settings. The changes to examples/build_and_run.sh, examples/run_docker.sh, and examples/test_all.sh add set -euo pipefail. These changes alter script failure behavior and have no demonstrated connection to the .editorconfig objective.

Preserve Markdown hard breaks when trimming whitespace.

When a Markdown line uses two trailing spaces for a hard break, an editor that honors this rule removes them on save. Markdown then renders a soft break instead. Add a Markdown-specific override or require a hard-break form that survives trimming.

 indent_size = 2

Restore the Makefile tab rule.

The head .editorconfig no longer requires tabs for Makefile. An EditorConfig-compliant editor with a spaces default can therefore insert spaces before a new recipe. Makefile does not define .RECIPEPREFIX, so GNU Make can reject that recipe with “missing separator”.
