Description from store
Git Well Soon is a Chrome extension (version 1.1.0.0) that automatically persists the 'Hide whitespace changes' setting when reviewing pull requests on GitHub and GitHub Enterprise instances.
The name is cheeky way of saying I hope GitHub will implement this feature themselves and make my extension obsolete, Git Well Soon!
Features:
- Automatic Whitespace Handling: Automatically adds the whitespace hiding query parameter (`w=1`) to GitHub pull request URLs
- Works with GitHub & GitHub Enterprise: Compatible with both public GitHub and private GitHub Enterprise instances
- User Preference Respect: Honors manual user toggles of the whitespace setting
- Seamless Integration: Works behind the scenes without requiring any user configuration
- Minimal Permissions: Uses only the necessary permissions to function, enhancing your privacy and security

- (2025-04-23) Will Bond: Thank you. It helps me hide whitespace changes automatically in PRs.
- (2024-09-25) Sean Flanigan: 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 The source code seems to live here: https://github.com/cduflo/gitwellsoon (seems outdated though)
- (2024-04-30) Daniel Metcalfe: Thank you.
- (2024-03-28) Peter Schmalfeldt: I needed this in my life SOOOOOOO MUCH !!!
- (2024-02-14) Alexander Braekevelt: 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.
- (2023-04-11) Does what it says on the tin, which is exactly what I wanted it to do
