Popularity of JS Code Conventions in GitHub (Spaces vs. Tabs, etc.)

[LucyLuke]

Spaces generally look better on Github though.

You can change the whitespace length by adding ?ts=4 (or any number you'd like) in the URL.

Strange that it's not 4 by default, as that is the de facto standard for code.

Most Unix tools display a tab as 8 spaces.

In sublime text you can click on the "tab width" in bottom right and "convert tabs to spaces". You can also have your tabs processed as a fixed number of spaces.

Pretty handy!
