I’m using ruff as a replacement to black formatter but I wanna keep the diff at minimum. I’m noticing that it automatically inserts a newline between the module-level docstring and the first import statement.

For example, given this code:

"""base api extension."""
import abc
from typing import List, Optional, Type

After running:

ruff format file.py --diff

It gives me this:

@@ -1,4 +1,5 @@
 """base api extension."""
+
 import abc
 from typing import List, Optional, Type
 

If I format the file, the output is like this:

"""base api extension."""

import abc
from typing import List, Optional, Type

I wanna keep the original formatting without adding that newline. I couldn’t find any settings I could use to ignore this. Is there a way to configure ruff to prevent this behaviour? Thank you!

My pyproject.toml before adding ruff:

[tool.black]
line_length = 120
include = '.py$'

[tool.isort]
multi_line_output = 3
include_trailing_comma = true
force_grid_wrap = 0
line_length = 120
profile = "black"

After adding ruff:

[tool.ruff]
line-length = 120
