Ruff linter expected to clean up all trailing new lines?

Hey so I was wondering since the Ruff linter cleans up the extra / new lines at the end of the code but how comes it does not do the same for trailing new lines towards the beginning of the file?

Hi

ruff format should remove unnecessary blank lines at the beginning of the file but you're right that ruff check doesn't do that.

POSIX specifies that text files should end with a newline character (\n), but not multiple newlines. Blank lines at the beginning of a file might be intentional. At least, they're very obvious compared to blank lines at the end of the file
