formality

Formality level to use (character), one of

  • "default" (default)

Details

The function looks for the latest commit that updated the source file, and for the latest commit that updated the target file. If the target file was updated later than the source file, or at the same time, nothing happens: you might need to reorder the Git history with rebase for instance.
