At my previous job, "Formatting" task was the first thing pipeline did. It was really simple - it ran the same "make format" target you could run locally, except it was configured in a way to fail if running "git diff" afterwards resulted in any changes when running on the build server (git diff -s --exit-code). Of course, when this failed, none of the other tasks in a pipeline ran so it forced you to format your code correctly if you wanted to see build results. You could just commit the next commit with "formatting" message but the idea was to just change the history since commiting was happening on dev branches - only when everything in the pipeline passed things could be merged on stable branches.
