Usage as a pre-commit hook

See pre-commit for instructions

Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml:

    rev: 0.3.4
    hooks:
    -   id: auto-walrus

Command-line example

auto-walrus myfile.py

-    n = 10
-    if n > 3:
+    if (n := 10) > 3:
         print(n)

Configuration

Using the walrus operator can result in longer lines. Lines longer than what you pass to --line-length won't be rewritten to use walrus operators.

E.g.

auto-walrus myfile_1.py myfile_2.py --line-length 89

Lines with comments won't be rewritten.
