Atom text editor remove trailing whitespace on save

I use Sublime text. Now I am trying Atom. When I save any file in sublime text it does not include any trailing blank line. But saving any file in Atom leaves a trailing blank line. How do I force Atom not to leave trailing white spaces?


Under your Atom Preferences go to Packages tab and search for whitespace. Click on the whitespace package and uncheck Ensure Single Trailing Newline option

On global level this can be changed using settings in Whitespace package, but if you want to disable it for a specific language you have to use syntax-scoped properties in your config.cson.

'.text.html.php': # php overrides
  whitespace:
    ensureSingleTrailingNewline: false
    removeTrailingWhitespace: false

'.source.ruby': # ruby overrides
  whitespace:
    ensureSingleTrailingNewline: false
    removeTrailingWhitespace: false

To see the scope of language go to Packages tab and search for your language.

Click on the settings of the language package and you can see the scope:
