Diff Online Ignore Whitespace. If a line contains many consecutive spaces or tabs w treats these characters as a single space. Tr --delete space filenametxt You can then feed the output of that command to diff and have it work without having any whitespace.
POSIX 10031-2001 see Standards conformance does not allow this. Beside of -w option problem even -b option has minor issues and that doesnt ignore whitespaces if come at the begging of a line. It would be great if SourceTree could do this too.
If the Ignore white space option is enabled the diff shrinks to this.
Luckily most diff programs have an option to ignore whitespace changes for example -w or -. Tr --delete space filenametxt You can then feed the output of that command to diff and have it work without having any whitespace. If you add this feature please consider having separate options for ignore changes to existing whitespace. Ignore changes in amount of white space.
