## The Ruff Language Server Welcome! `ruff server` is a language server that powers editor integrations with Ruff. The job of the language server is to listen for requests from the client, (in this case, the code editor of your choice) and call into Ruff's linter and formatter crates to create real-time diagnostics or formatted code, which is then sent back to the client. It also tracks configuration files in your editor's workspace, and will refresh its in-memory configuration whenever those files are modified. ### Contributing If you're interested in contributing to `ruff server` - well, first of all, thank you!
