What article on docs.github.com is affected?

GitHub seems to adhere to EditorConfig / .editorconfig if present in the repo, in terms of how to present code. However, this does not seem to be documented anywhere.

Context:

• About EditorConfig: https://editorconfig.org/
• A repo testing EditorConfig with GitHub: https://github.com/cirosantilli/test-editorconfig
• Recent dicussion where maintainers of Geany decided to implement EditorConfig just for the code to look correct in GitHub: Add .editorconfig geany/geany#1193

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
