Fixing Sublime Text 2 line endings?

Question

The comment states

// Determines what character(s) are used to terminate each line in new files.
// Valid values are 'system' (whatever the OS uses), 'windows' (CRLF) and
// 'unix' (LF only).

You are setting

"default_line_ending": "LF",

You should set

"default_line_ending": "unix",

The EditorConfig project (Github link) is another very viable solution. Similar to sftp-config.json and .sublime-project/workspace sort of file, once you set up a .editorconfig file, either in project folder or in a parent folder, every time you save a file within that directory structure the plugin will automatically apply the settings in the dot file and automate a few different things for you. Some of which are saving Unix-style line endings, adding end-of-file newline, removing whitespace, and adjusting your indent tab/space settings.

QUICK EXAMPLE

Install the EditorConfig plugin in Sublime using Package Control; then place a file named .editorconfig in a parent directory (even your home or the root if you like), with the following content:

[*]
end_of_line = lf

That's it. This setting will automatically apply Unix-style line endings whenever you save a file within that directory structure. You can do more cool stuff, ex. trim unwanted trailing white-spaces or add a trailing newline at the end of each file. For more detail, refer to the example file at https://github.com/sindresorhus/editorconfig-sublime, that is:

# editorconfig.org
root = true

[*]
indent_style = tab
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

The root = true line means that EditorConfig won't look for other .editorconfig files in the upper levels of the directory structure.

to chnage line endings from LF to CRLF:

open Sublime and follow the steps:-

1 press Ctrl+shift+p then install package name line unify endings

then again press Ctrl+shift+p

2 in the blank input box type "Line unify ending "

3 Hit enter twice

Sublime may freeze for sometimes and as a result will change the line endings from LF to CRLF

The simplest way to modify all files of a project at once (batch) is through Line Endings Unify package:

1. Ctrl+Shift+P type inst + choose Install Package.
2. Type line end + choose Line Endings Unify.
3. Once installed, Ctrl+Shift+P + type end + choose Line Endings Unify.

4. OR (instead of 3.) copy:

   {
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+l"],
    "command": "line_endings_unify"
   },
   

   to the User array (right pane, after the opening [) in Preferences -> KeyBindings + press Ctrl+Alt+L.

As mentioned in another answer:

• The Carriage Return (CR) character (0x0D, \r) [...] Early Macintosh operating systems (OS-9 and earlier).

• The Line Feed (LF) character (0x0A, \n) [...] UNIX based systems (Linux, Mac OSX)

• The End of Line (EOL) sequence (0x0D 0x0A, \r\n) [...] (non-Unix: Windows, Symbian OS).

If you have node_modules, build or other auto-generated folders, delete them before running the package.

When you run the package:

1. you are asked at the bottom to choose which file extensions to search through a comma separated list (type the only ones you need to speed up the replacements, e.g. js,jsx).
2. then you are asked which Input line ending to use, e.g. if you need LF type \n.
3. press ENTER and wait until you see an alert window with LineEndingsUnify Complete.
