How to change tab size in GitHub desktop app?

Question

I'm working on a project that uses tabs incorrectly, and therefore doesn't like that the GitHub desktop app shows them as being 4 spaces wide in the diff.

This is not nice as it's hard to read the diff inside the app because the code shows up as not being properly indented.

Is there a setting that allows to customize the tab size?

2021: There is at least a setting on github.com.

2015: I just checked with the latest version of GitHub for Windows (2.14.7), and this option doesn't seem to be available.

@kubicle True, this is still not directly visible in the GitHub Desktop application. – VonC Dec 28 '22 at 06:56
