GitHub Enhances Pull Request Review Interface
According to GitHub. New updates allow for persistent whitespace preferences and improved full-width split view layouts.
- • Users can now save whitespace visibility preferences that persist across all pull requests.
- • Split view now utilizes full-width display for new and deleted files to reduce line wrapping.
- • Diff statistics and file counts dynamically adjust based on the active whitespace filter.
Persistent Whitespace Configuration
GitHub has implemented a new setting that allows developers to save their preferred whitespace visibility. By navigating to settings, users can choose to always show, always hide, or hide whitespace for specific diffs. This preference is saved to the user account and applies globally across all pull requests, with an option to temporarily toggle visibility via a filter.
Full-Width Split View Updates
The platform has updated the split view interface to ensure that new and deleted files span both columns. By utilizing the full width of the page, the interface provides more room for code review and minimizes the occurrence of line wrapping, aligning the split view experience with the existing unified view layout.
