At work I have to work with a lot of files that other people work on as well.
Other people don’t usually have their editor set up to remove all trailing
whitespace, and we’re not allowed to make a change that includes a lot of extra
whitespace changes[1]. So I end up having to revert a lot of whitespace changes
just before submitting. And if I then have to make more changes, for example
because something was pointed out in a code review, I have to do it again.
‘ws-butler’ promises that it will still prevent me from submitting extraneous
whitespace, but will not touch lines that I haven’t changed, so that would
prevent me from having to revert them all the time.
[1]: This is good, having a lot of whitespace changes can distract from or even
completely hide the actual change you’re trying to make.
