# Exclude Whitespace Changes From GitHub Diffs
|
|
|
|
If you run a tidy ship and use plugins like
|
|
[vim-spacejam](https://github.com/rondale-sc/vim-spacejam), then whitespace
|
|
changes cluttering up your git diffs probably isn't much of an issue.
|
|
|
|
However, if you are working with other people or messier code bases, then
|
|
you may not be so lucky. If there are a bunch of whitespace changes in a
|
|
commit, then that is going to make the diff view of a commit on GitHub
|
|
annoying, and perhaps hard, to read.
|
|
|
|
You can cut to the chase by excluding whitespace changes from GitHub's diff
|
|
view by adding `w=1` to the diff URL.
|
|
|
|

|
|
diff](https://github.com/jbranchaud/dotfiles/commit/fad58dfda91e61972b3c28e7e967bb631140e71e)
|
|
and then [this view of the diff that excludes

whitespace](https://github.com/jbranchaud/dotfiles/commit/fad58dfda91e61972b3c28e7e967bb631140e71e?w=1).
