- Format a file and print the result to `stdout`:

`prettier {{path/to/file}}`

- Check if a specific file has been formatted:

`prettier --check {{path/to/file}}`

- Run with a specific configuration file:

`prettier --config {{path/to/config_file}} {{path/to/file}}`

- Format a file or directory, replacing the original:

`prettier --write {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`

- Format files or directories recursively using single quotes and no trailing commas:

`prettier --single-quote --trailing-comma {{none}} --write {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`

- Format JavaScript and TypeScript files recursively, replacing the original:

`prettier --write "**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"`
