True, yes, not a bad idea. Alternatively, if we're going to have a
collection of such things, they could be housed in a subdirectory
somewhere. Projects will often carry configs for vim, emacs, and other
editors... Having them in one place might also make it easier to spot
discrepancies in each other's formatting configurations.
clang-format is similar to astyle, but it has the advantage that we can
use it directly without moving the style file: from the man page, iirc
clang-format looks for .clang-format files situated in parent
directories of the formatted file(s).
(Side note: I'd actually be in favor of automatically running
clang-format on MR if it's technically possible (a possibility would be
to run it as a "test" and prevent merges of branches that make tests fail))
