+# Prevent ClangFormat From Breaking Before Curly Braces
+
+For some unfathomable reason, C and C++ developers sometimes put line breaks before curly braces:
+
+```c
+int main()
+{
+  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
+  {
+    printf("%d\n", i);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+It's also the default formatting style in the code formatter [ClangFormat](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
+
+Fortunately, it's configurable by setting the [`BreakBeforeBraces` option](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html#breakbeforebraces) to `Attach` in your `.clang-format` file:
+
+```
+BreakBeforeBraces: Attach
+```
+
+Much more readable:
+
+```c
+int main() {
+  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+    printf("%d\n", i);
+  }
+}
+```
