File formatting
Hi all,
In the world of programming, whitespaces (e.g. space bar) take up visual and disk space room. At the same time though, programmers expect almost every line to end with a newline.
If using Atom, Sublime Text, this is very easy. In fact, most editors have a package called whitespace that will trim and add whitespace to your files where appropriate, so you don't have to worry about it. You can configure them to format every time you save, or before your commit or anything.
Please consider adding such tools. There are also tools for 'prettyifying' formats like JSON, or even langugages like Python. Try to use these, so that all code in our repo follows a style guide. Otherwise, the same edits keep getting made, committed, and overwritten by the next willing code.
These kinds of utils therefore get more and more important when you work in teams.
Let me know in #1 if you need help installing any of these tools, but do try to do it.
