## Gotchas
### Atom removes lines with just spaces, breaking tests
When using Atom, if you edit some of our tests, atom will remove the whitespace on some lines. Unfortunately we wanted this whitespace to
able to test multiline commits and their difference across operating
systems. Atom has decided to keep the stripping of whitespace as a
default. Although we understand this decision, it has the unfortunate
side effect of editing parts of the file that you might not have
intended. We think this should be left up to more configurable tools
like eslint.
For now, in order to work around this, you can take the steps outlined
[here](https://github.com/atom/whitespace/issues/10#issuecomment-85183781) to temporarily disable automatic whitespace removal in Atom.
