Github for mac diff options

Question

Is there a way to configure github for mac to do diff with an option -wto ignore spaces?

We are in the process of replacing all tabs with spaces in our project, but when considering the differences for these commits in Github: mac, the entire file is marked as modified, which makes it difficult to see the actual changes.

Answer 1

Why do you have “actual” changes mixed with tab changes? Delay your current work, do one giant sweep to clear the gap, press it, and then return to your regular programming. Of course, you will encounter several merge conflicts with anything that you worked on before fixing the gaps, but this is inevitable.
