Feature Description

With the .gitattributes file Gitea allows us to mark some files/patterns as vendored or generated via linguistic, resulting them to be folded by default in the pull/files tab.

Bulding upon this feature, it would be great if there was an option to hide them completely in that tab, e.g. via a Button/Checkbox or the diff option dropdown.

The use case that I encounter from time to time is a pull request that has hundreds of generated files changed or added, with just a few lines of actual code that changed.
Currently I have to click on „load more“ multiple times to see the actual changes.

With the suggested feature, which was proposed by @lunny in Discord as a possible solution, this frontend change would improve the user experience of our developers, as they can then decide for themselves if they want to see the changes.

I think this means more than just some css changes, because by just hiding them there would just be an empty page in my case. I would still have to "load more"
