Issue with gist indentation
When creating a Gist on Github there is a setting for indentation (tabs or spaces; size 2, 4, or 8). After setting indents to tabs size 4, it changes to tabs size 8 after I save it. Editing it afterwords doesn't do anything. Other settings don't produce the expected result either. Am I misunderstanding this feature somehow? Can't find any documentation regarding this.

This is happening because while writing the code, you used the tab key which inserted 8 spaces. Here's a solution that I use.
Copy all your code to a local file and open it in the vi editor.
cat>temp.js
ctrl+shift+vto paste andctrl+dto save.
vim temp.js(Or change the extension as per your file.)
Run the following command that I found from here. This will half the existing space.
:%s;^(s+);=repeat(' ', len(submatch(0))/2);g
Press the
esckey then:xandenterkey to save and exit vi.Copy the code in your temp.js file and paste it in your gist with spaces as 4.

I replaced tabs with four spaces in Notepad++ (Ctrl+H), and it works. You can use any numbers of spaces.
Those tabs are automatically displayed as a 8-character-tab in Github Gist.
