> [Code Style, Linting, and CI|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/cpp/development.html#code-style-linting-and-ci] could use the following:
>  * clang-format is implicitly described, but should be made an explicit requirement.
>  * We should describe how to format C++ code with archery.
>  * We should describe how to format/lint C++ code with the CMake build.
>  * We should describe how Archery discovers the clang-format/cpplint executables.
>  * We should describe how to use the GitHub Actions bot to try to format code.
>  * If the wrong version of clang-format or clang-tidy is found, we should explicitly note that instead of just saying 'not found'
>  * We should clarify that the exact version of these tools is needed
>  * Link to the LLVM downloads since it may not be obvious where to get all these linter tools
