If you care how big indentation is, and you use github, and you don't like it to be indented 8 spaces, you need to use spaces. It's as simple as that.
You use spaces because of how github renders tabs in code when you are viewing it on the web?

You're right. I'm guilty of caring about the experiences people have when they read my code.
