If you’re using tools that don’t handle tabs properly you should either use better tools, suck it up, or use spaces if you really need to (I will convert them to tabs on opening in my editor however). Github respects tab size preferences btw, but even if it didn’t, having Github display tabs with 8 characters isn’t a big deal, it’s not where you should be doing your work anyway (aside from casual browsing or the odd edit perhaps if you’re on the go). @heh already pointed out the rest of the flaws with your post
