Ktlint format on a specific file

[kamalshabanow]

Is there any gradle command to format specific file using ktlint? In large projects, formatting with ./gradlew ktlintFormat makes the PR very large, which makes the review process more difficult

For example:
./gradlew ktlintFormat "specific file"

You could probably use the filter to configure the tasks to only specify a single file. filter is invoked against a Gradle PatternFilterable

https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/util/PatternFilterable.html

configure<org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint.KtlintExtension> {
    filter {
        exclude("**/generated/**")
        include("**/kotlin/**")
    }
}
