+#  There are some known cases that this doesn't produce the desired
+#  style (i.e Preprocessor Directives are over-indented and not
+#  auto-commented). As a result, this is meant to be a utility to make
+#  formatting easier, not a definitive standard.
+#
+#  To format the current git diff inplace (-i) the follow command can
+#  be used:
+#  $> git diff -U0 --no-color HEAD^ | clang-format-diff -i -p1
+#
+#  To just view the diff clang-format would generate:
+#  $> git diff -U0 --no-color HEAD^ | clang-format-diff -p1
