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.

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 The source code seems to live here: https://github.com/cduflo/gitwellsoon (seems outdated though)
