How to make git diff --ignore-space-change the default

I could probably setup an alias, but it seems like I should be able to set this as an option in the config file, only I don't see anyway to do it.

I only want the --ignore-space-change when I'm doing diff, not when I'm doing apply or anything else. I'm trying to make the diff easier to understand by not cluttering it with with extraneous +/- lines that have no real changes on them.

Solution

  • According to the Git Config manual, there's no such option. Your only option is to make an alias.
