How to auto format the code before commit in IntelliJ?

Question

Whenever I commit and push my code to git, it shows most of the formatting changes in merge request. I am using intellij as code editor. Is there anyway to auto format the whole project before committing changes ? So at least my merge request should not have code formatting changes every time.

Answer 1

Open Settings > Version Control > Commit Select on the bottom right under "Before Commit" the Reformat code checkbox.
