About

Git Well Soon is a Chrome extension 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
