So what should I do in VS code to

- automatically indent my code (if, for and while loops…)
- automatically add space to expressions such as `a=b+2` to `a = b + 2`

?

I haven’t found a clear explanation, even in this thread [(Auto)-formatting code? - #14 by Tony\_Gonzalez](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/auto-formatting-code/1611/14)

A Github bot which could create PR to reformat code could be a very nice feature to have.
