# Split or ifs

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `split-or-ifs`

#### Description:

Splits out conditions combined with an `or` in an `if` statement into their own
`if` statement.

#### Before:

```python
if a or b:
    c()
```

#### After:

```python
if a:
    c()
elif b:
    c()
```

#### Explanation:

It is logically equivalent to transform an `or` condition into an `if` branch
and an `elif` branch of a conditional. This is not prima facie an improvement to
the code, but it can unlock further improvements, and Sourcery will only make
this change if such improvements are possible.
