git config core.autocrlf

Windows ends lines with carriage-return and linefeed CRLF . Mac and Linux use only a linefeed LF . Enter git config core.autocrlf to the rescue!

View it git config --get core.autocrlf

Set it git config --global core.autocrlf=input

This is what the three alternatives do.

true

• git checkout converts LF to CRLF
• git add converts CRLF to LF

input

• git checkout converts neither
• git add converts CRLF to LF

false

• git checkout converts neither
• git add converts neither
• reserve this setting for Windows-only projects
