Issue with gist indentation












13














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.





  1. Copy all your code to a local file and open it in the vi editor.
    cat>temp.js
    ctrl+shift+v to paste and ctrl+d to save.



    vim temp.js (Or change the extension as per your file.)




  2. Run the following command that I found from here. This will half the existing space.



    :%s;^(s+);=repeat(' ', len(submatch(0))/2);g



  3. Press the esc key then :x and enter key to save and exit vi.


  4. 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.
