Ignore whitespace in diffs automatically
See original GitHub issueHow about adding ?w=1 to any diff URLs automatically as optional? Personally speaking it’s pretty useful, as I hardly ever care about any changes only in whitespace.

The w=1 trick is nice for viewing diffs, unfortunately you can’t add comments for the Pull Request which is where this would be most useful.
Really annoying to not be able to see your actual change in a file that accidentally (or intentionally) got formatted as part of a commit, since changing the whitespace doesn’t matter in most languages.
Agree, this should be default. Or at least a toggle option. Please make it happen 👍
