I am using the github windows app. I seem to be having problems with it showing what has changed and what hasn't. Before I commit it correctly shows only the changed lines, but after I commit, it shows that all the lines have changed in the file. Any way to get it to stop this?
It is quite annoying and any help would be appreciated. ps, i made sure that their are no line ending issues.

These changes mean that metadata about your file changed, however the content of your file did not. If you're working in a group, this may start to intefere with pushes or just add noise to your commits.
To see the diff for a particular COMMIT hash, where COMMIT is the hash of the commit: git diff COMMIT~ COMMIT will show you the difference between that COMMIT 's ancestor and the COMMIT . See the man pages for git diff for details about the command and gitrevisions about the ~ notation and its friends.
DESCRIPTION. A gitattributes file is a simple text file that gives attributes to pathnames. Each line in gitattributes file is of form: pattern attr1 attr2 ... That is, a pattern followed by an attributes list, separated by whitespaces.
This is usual core.autocrlf issue (different setting in your clients and definitely wrong in Github client) - read "Formatting and Whitespace" topic and core.autocrlf part of it carefully
PS: you can test my statement using differ, which can ignore EOL-difference in compared files
