Hey all, hopefully a small/quick feature request. We work in a code base with heavy code generation (protobuf generating Go and Typescript implementations with some additional generation around database types), and sometimes a small change which by hand has actually only modified say 6 or 7 files ends up with a 70 file change (most of the other files being generated generated). We mark all the generated files as generated using gitattributes with
linguist-generated
tags. However it still causes PR's to be really hard to read what's actually changed (and the Tour mode gives up when too many files have been changed). Would be it be possible to have a setting which automatically groups generated files into their own section at the end of the PR, meaning only manually changed files appear at the top? (i.e. so as you scroll through the PR from the top you only see human changed code, before hitting all the generated code)

Hey Dom! This is a good feature request and I will capture it. No timetable to relay or promise that we would move forward with this but I will add it to board. Thanks! Chris
