If you're submitting code for a review, there's nothing worse than getting nitpicked because you violated a style guideline of the project.
If you're doing the code review, there's nothing more annoying than nitpicking on small code style inconsistencies.
This is where clang-format can help you. Clang-format is a tool (based on the clang/LLVM compiler infrastructure) that can automatically reformat your source code. Not only can you run it manually to apply a given formatting, but you can set it up so that it automatically reformats the code when committing into git, or when saving in Qt Creator.
The example code showcased in this video is available here:
