Visual Studio–Generate an EditorConfig file

I talked about the .editorconfig file a long time ago as a way to standardize code style conventions in your team. These conventions allow Visual Studio to offer automatic style and format fixes to clean up your document.

But did you know that in Visual Studio 2019, you can generate an .editorconfig file dynamically based on the style and formatting found in your existing codebase?

  • Go to Tools –> Options –> IntelliCode.
  • Change the EditorConfig inference setting to Enabled.
  • Right click on you solution in the Solution Explorer and choose Add –> New EditorConfig (IntelliCode)

Add IntelliCode-generated EditorConfig file in Visual Studio

After you add the file in this way, IntelliCode automatically populates it with code style conventions it infers from your codebase.

But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
