Hi!

I used the solution from here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15132325/how-to-set-tab-size-for-pager-used-in-git-diff> to change tab size in |git diff||| output. That works fine with git diff.

I have these settings in my *.gitconfig*:

    |[core]
    whitespace = tabsize=4,indent-with-non-tab
    pager = less -FSRX -x4
    |

But those settings seems does not affect on |git add -p|. How to set tab size for hunks in *git add -p* command?

Thanks in advance!

That's because "git add -p" doesn't go through less/pager. You can certainly change the tabs size for your terminal with "tabs -4" though.

Thanks a lot!

That solution worked for me: env TERM=linux setterm -regtabs 4
