-## Large Scale Reformatting
-
-For large scale reformatting (should only be performed by VTR maintainers) the script `dev/autoformat.py` can be used to reformat the C/C++ code and commit it as 'VTR Robot', which  keeps the revision history clearer and records metadata about reformatting commits (which allows `git hyper-blame` to skip such commits).  The `--python` option can be used for large scale formatting of Python code.

 ## Python Linting
 
 Python files are automatically checked using `pylint` to ensure they follow established Python conventions.  You can run `pylint` on the entire repository by running `./dev/pylint_check.py`.  Certain files which were created before we adopted Python lint checking are grandfathered and are not checked.  To check *all* files, provide the `--check_grandfathered` argument.  You can also manually check individual files using `./dev/pylint_check.py <path_to_file1> <path_to_file2> ...`.
