Maybe a new paradigm for code formatting could be local-only. Your editor automatically formats files the way you like to see them, and then de-formats back to match the codebase when pushing, making your changes match the codebase style.
It's a decent idea, but it's weird reviewing code you wrote in saying GitHub, it looks totally different. Imo not a show stopper but a side effect you have to get used to.
This is disastrously easy to implement with just a few filters on git (clean & smudge).
I highly recommend it though, especially if you worked for a long time at one company and are used to a specific way of writing code. Or if you like tabs instead of spaces...
This is pretty common now. At least my Vim/git combo does this, where I always open source code with my preferred formatting but by the time it's pushed to the server it's changed to match the repo preferences.
