There are two ways to look at it from individual standpoint you are absolutely right, but from standpoint of a large organization go approach is way more preferable IMHO.

Since Credo was mentioned, I’m not aware of anything in the Elixir Style Guide that contradicts it. (We might however be missing a few rules that we should fill in.) I think you should be able to follow any of the style guides and get Credo’s linter to pass.
However, we also have some guidelines that will probably never make it into a linter, such as how to organize your module attributes/directives.
As long as you’re enjoying Elixir and sticking to a style you’re doing well!

For those looking to contribute to the Elixir Style Guide, now is a great time. We’ve marked some Help Wanted issues.
Most of these have a solution proposed that would probably be quickly reviewed/accepted. Of course all other submissions are welcome!

The Elixir Style Guide has two new translations:
- Spanish by albertoalmagro
- Portuguese by @gusaiani
The Spanish translation is pretty complete and up to date, while the Portuguese one has just gotten started.
I’m sure both would be open to your contributions if you’re knowledgeable in one of these languages!

GitHub - lexmag/elixir-style-guide: An opinionated Elixir style guide · GitHub has not been updated for 7 years but GitHub - christopheradams/elixir_style_guide: A community driven style guide for Elixir · GitHub was updated last year.
Sorry for the mega-necro but friendly chatter at work led me to look at existing style guides. Is the 7-year old repo still considered the “closest to official”? The christopheradams one looks better to me.

@josevalim Are you saying that neither style guide is relevant now?
@LostKobrakai Please provide a link. I am not sure what you mean by “the” elixir guides.
