Git Well Soon - Persistent 'Hide whitespace changes' Setting

Git Well Soon is a Chrome extension that adds a persistent 'Hide whitespace changes' setting to GitHub pull request pages. It automatically adds a query parameter to the URL, allowing users to toggle the option and persist it for all future pull request reviews. The extension also honors the 'Hide whitespace' checkbox within GitHub for the current pull request or commit diff view.

User reviews

Very helpful tool, although it does lose URL fragments which can cause minor problems. The source code seems to live here: https://github.com/cduflo/gitwellsoon (seems outdated though)
