I think you can also set these per-repo. Is it possible that I do think it is worthwhile to still suggest people enable the whitespace fixer globally. Not sure about altering |

@Fishrock123 what I'm saying is I don't think I'm pretty sure this stuff has to go in |
|
Let's drop that recommendation, we already recommend |

I can confirm that option |

PR #12445 removes this misleading instruction |
|
I think I'd rather just correct the option name rather than remove it. The less explicit parameters needed the better IMHO. |
According to docs it is used only on applying patch. Is it useful/intended result of this instruction? |

We recommend using
git config --global --add core.whitespace fixin doc/onboarding.md, but I can't find any mention of that setting in the git docs. There is acore.whitespace, but it doesn't seem to have a fix option. However,apply.whitespacedoes, see the apply docs.I think what we need is
git config --global --add apply.whitespace fix. Note that this only fixes whitespace when you apply a patch. Rebase has a whitespace option as well, but it's apparently incompatible with--interactive, so I'm not sure if we should use it.We might also consider suggesting
git config --global diff.wsErrorHighlight all, which makesgit diffandgit showhighlight whitespace errors (see docs).cc/ @Fishrock123 (from git blame)
