How to change the tab size when adding files to github?

Question

GitHub

When adding code to Github. It automatically replaces the tabs with 8.
If you click edit and select a size of 4, then the code will look like in the IDE.

In general, is there a way to solve this problem, namely when sending the code, not on the github site?

Answer 1

The size of the tubulation is configured in your editor.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but you may be interested in the ".editorconfig" file, setting:

indent_style = tab
indent_size = 4

More details: editorconfig.org
Commit the file to the root of the project, and the github picks it up.

An example of a file with a tab 4 spaces wide:
