Feature request: Command line option to pipe default configuration to stdout

[fkromer]

Could we add a command line option to output the default configuration similar to how pylint does (to get a config file containing the default config with e.g. pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc)?

pylint -h
    --generate-rcfile   Generate a sample configuration file according to the
                        current configuration. You can put other options
                        before this one to get them in the generated
                        configuration.

This should be a feature in every CLI tool with a config file :p

Common, this feature is very helpful 😉

spam alarm!!!

Same person spamming the repos provides the alarm... This seems like self-generating business of GitHub commenting to bolster contributions or something ;)

And as I said on pydocstyle there's too many config files that are supported for this project. The generated rcfile should be printed to stdout.

Something like that happens if you are testing way too much 😄

That's what pylint does. I adjust the issue name...
