Licenses: All Carbon files outside of third_party/ should have a license following CONTRIBUTING license instructions.

Bazel: Use pre-commit run buildifier --files <file.bzl> to format Bazel files.
C++: Use pre-commit run clang-format --files <file.cpp> to format C++ files.
Carbon: The toolchain's format command doesn't work well right now. Instead, try to format Carbon code based on other Carbon files and the C++ style.
Markdown: Use pre-commit run prettier --files <file.md> to format markdown files.
Python: Use pre-commit run black --files <file.py> to format Python files.

C++ style: Follow the Carbon C++ Project Style Guide.
Markdown style: Follow the Google developer documentation style guide.
Python style: Follow the PEP 8 style guide.
