hatch test --all Run tests using all compatible Python versions
hatch test --python 3.9 Run tests using a specific Python version

What other arguments are available to me?

The hatch test command is a wrapper for pytest. Hatch "intercepts" a handful of arguments, which can be previewed by typing hatch test --help.

Any additional arguments in the test command are directly passed on to pytest. See the pytest documentation for what additional arguments are available.

Linting and Formatting

Command Description
hatch fmt Run all linters and formatters
hatch fmt --check Run all linters and formatters, but do not save fixes to the disk
hatch fmt --linter Run only linters
hatch fmt --formatter Run only formatters
Configure your IDE for linting

This repository uses hatch fmt for linting and formatting, which is a modestly customized version of ruff.

You can install ruff as a plugin to your preferred code editor to create a similar environment.
