Yes, we would commit the formatted code straight back.

What we have now with the primitive formatting check is it creates 
opportunity for the PR to fail the CI.

With an automatic formatting tool, we can simply fix the code and move 
on with our lives. No nitpicking, no asking how do I fix this error, 
just ready to merge code!
