Move code left

Sometimes when copying code into a textarea to share via slack, discord, wherever, the code will have leading spaces due to the nested/indented nature of the code. This script removes as much leading white space as possible.

Turns this:

    <Router>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/" element={<Layout />}>
          <Route index element={<Home />} />
      </Routes>
    </Router>

into this:

<Router>
  <Routes>
    <Route path="/" element={<Layout />}>
      <Route index element={<Home />} />
  </Routes>
</Router>
