I wonder how many of those with tabs prefer their tab stops to be at something other than multiples of eight spaces. If it&#x27;s half of them that would be about a sixth of the repositories.<p>GitHub has addressed them by supporting .editorconfig. Setting a tab size in .editorconfig changes the tab size for viewing files but not diffs (last I checked, a couple of months ago). If any GitHubber is reading, it would be great for that preference to be used for diffs as well!<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;editorconfig.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;editorconfig.org&#x2F;</a>
