     VisualDL 使用 `clang-format` 来调整 C/C++ 源代码格式，请确保 [clang-format 3.8](http://releases.llvm.org/download.html) 版本在 3.8 以上。
     请下载且安装在 path上. 例如 `/usr/local/bin`

+    # For example, install clang-format on Mac

    Our pre-commit configuration requires [clang-format 3.8](http://releases.llvm.org/download.html) for auto-formating C/C++ code, yapf for auto-formating Python and flake8 for style checking Python.
    Please make sure clang-format version 3.8 is available in your path. For example, under ```/usr/local/bin```

    Once installed, `pre-commit` checks the style of code and documentation in every commit.  We will see something like the following when you run `git commit`:
