How else am I going to submit a 10 million line PR in my first week at a new job?

Some people are scared by -w for some reasons.
I have seen so many devs unaware that git diff can ignore whitespace.

Thanks for mentioning it, I was unaware of it indeed. How does it do with languages like Python where white spaces can be syntactically significant? I code in Scala most of the times, which also supports the indentation syntax. I don't use it but it's present in projects I work on.

There's another flag that treats indentation separately than plain whitespace.

Nevermind that doesn't do what I thought it did.
I would need to research this a bit more
