# Integrations

Black can be integrated into many environments, providing a better and smoother experience. Documentation for integrating Black with a tool can be found for the following areas:

- Editor / IDE

- GitHub Actions

- Source version control

Editors and tools not listed will require external contributions.

Patches welcome! ✨ 🍰 ✨

Any tool can pipe code through Black using its stdio mode (just use `-` as the file name). The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was passed). Black will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn’t affect your use case.

This can be used for example with PyCharm’s or IntelliJ’s File Watchers.
