What is Git Well Soon?

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.

Persists 'Hide whitespace' Setting on Github Code Review

When reviewing code on Github, there is an option to hide whitespace changes. However, this option is not persistent and has to be toggled each time a user reviews a pull request (As noted in the linked Github issue).

This extension effectively persists "Hide whitespace" as true. Additionally, it will allow the user to select "Show whitespace" for a specific pull request, before reverting back to hiding whitespace.

Thank you.

I needed this in my life SOOOOOOO MUCH !!!

Great workaround! This should be built-in to github. Only downside is that there is a brief moment where you see the whitespace before being redirected.

Risk impact

Git Well Soon is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Git Well Soon if you trust the publisher.
