My program keeps getting an error called 'inconsistent use of tabs and spaces' when I add an else or elif statement

Question

My code goes as follows

if (input("").lower() == "yes"):
    gender_set()
elif name.lower()=="dev mode":
            print("dev mode activated")
            gender_set()
    else:
    name_set()

my file is at https://github.com/GamingTimelord19/first-project/commit/0f5639e689a0824580bf5135ecbf8a0c12abf445#diff-9f9a01b179db586487b21757ae29e719L29

You're using tabs and spaces inconsistently. Pick one and don't use the other. (p.s. official style guide PEP 8 says use spaces exclusively) http://pep8.org/ — Patrick Haugh, Dec 02 '16 at 19:08
What entity gives you that error message? Is it from an IDE of some kind? — Robᵩ, Dec 02 '16 at 19:09

you have an indentation problem :

if (input("").lower() == "yes"):
    gender_set()
elif name.lower()=="dev mode":
    print("dev mode activated")
    gender_set()
else:
    name_set()
