Setting GitHub's 'soft wrap' option to be on by default

Viewed 1381

In GitHub's web app, there is a drop down menu to select which line wrap mode you want to edit with.

Is there a way to set this option to 'soft wrap' by default so when I edit a new file, it is already on 'soft wrap'?

I landed here in a search for a better GitHub online editing experience. I haven't found a direct answer, but there is a related question which suggests a url tag (not working?) and a Chrome extension, that may have some helpful guidance.

In the meantime, I have posted a more general question and two online tools which have helped me here: A better online editor for GitHub.com and GitHub Pages?
