Description

It might be a good idea to force a particular version of clang-format as they produce different output. For example, we can force install clang-format 6 and then use that. CS50 Sandbox seems to use the earliest version of clang-format among platforms used in CSUF CPSC 121 (CS50, Tuffix 2019, Tuffix 2020). It uses clang-format version 6 out of ubuntu 18.04

Research direction

Start by locating where cppaudit invokes or configures clang-format, then check how the project’s supported platforms currently determine its version. The work is done when a consistent clang-format version, specifically the proposed version 6, is selected and the project’s formatting behavior no longer varies by platform.
