Could you share your configuration ? Could we provide more helper and
integration to help produce consistent code ?

For logfmt extension, I configured clang-formatd so that Emacs format
the buffer on save. Any editor running clangd will use this. This is
ease my mind about formatting. I need to investigate how to use
pgindent instead or at lease ensure clang-format produce same output as
pgindent.

Automate nitpicking in CI is good, but checking locally before sending
the patch will save way more round-trip.

Étienne
