It is redundant and usually a bug when a variable is assigned to itself.
Apply with the Grit CLI
grit apply no_self_assigned_variables
Optimistically rewrites variable to instance variable when it is not one
BEFORE
class Watermelon { private String name; public void setName(String name) { name = name; } }
AFTER
class Watermelon { private String name; public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } }
Removes self-assigned instance variables
BEFORE
class Watermelon { public void setName(String name) { this.name = this.name; void method = oranges.map((n) -> { this.orange = this.orange; }); } }
AFTER
class Watermelon { public void setName(String name) { void method = oranges.map((n) -> { }); } }
