Refined-github: Add option to disable whitespace diff via URL parameter

[anselmh]

According to Alex’ tweet (https://twitter.com/SlexAxton/status/725193003220893696) this is possible by adding ?w=1 to the URL:

ProTip: Add a w=1 query param to github diffs to ignore whitespace. Usually way easier to read.

Possible as option for the extension?

We don't add options, but we can consider adding a button to the UI for it. You wouldn't want to have it on all the time anyways as it hides important changes and disables inline comments.

[anselmh]

Fair enough, it really shouldn’t be enabled by default, I agree. A button would be cool though for sites showing diffs.

Seems like quite a half-baked way for GitHub to add that feature 😆. I think adding a button for it would be cool. Probably won't know how often I'll use it until it's there, though

[sindresorhus]

Alright. PR welcome.

I love the checkbox that's been added for Hide Whitespace Changes. Can we add an option to make it the default?

[anselmh]

@nadim Hi, not sure about the "default" option for this but Github has recently added this feature natively as well, although also just as temporary option:

Leaving it as a temporary option is not sufficient in my opinion. With team wide adoption of estlint and prettier, whitespace is effectively never a concern in PRs for me. I hate having to load every single diff twice just to hide white space changes.
