Menu
Is there a file or menu that will let me change the settings on how to deal with line endings?
I read there are 3 options:
Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style
Git will convert LF to CRLF when checking out text files. When committing text files, CRLF will be converted to LF. For cross-platform projects, this is the recommended setting on Windows ("core.autocrlf" is set to "true")
Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style
Git will not perform any conversion when checking out text files. When committing text files, CRLF will be converted to LF. For cross-platform projects this is the recommended setting on Unix ("core.autocrlf" is set to "input").
Checkout as-is, commit as-is
Git will not perform any conversions when checking out or committing text files. Choosing this option is not recommended for cross-platform projects ("core.autocrlf" is set to "false")

Global settings for line endings The git config core. autocrlf command is used to change how Git handles line endings. It takes a single argument. On Windows, you simply pass true to the configuration.
use a text editor like notepad++ that can help you with understanding the line ends. It will show you the line end formats used as either Unix(LF) or Macintosh(CR) or Windows(CR LF) on the task bar of the tool. you can also go to View->Show Symbol->Show End Of Line to display the line ends as LF/ CR LF/CR.
Converting using Notepad++ To write your file in this way, while you have the file open, go to the Edit menu, select the "EOL Conversion" submenu, and from the options that come up select "UNIX/OSX Format". The next time you save the file, its line endings will, all going well, be saved with UNIX-style line endings.
The normal way to control this is with git config
For example
git config --global core.autocrlf true For details, scroll down in this link to Pro Git to the section named "core.autocrlf"
If you want to know what file this is saved in, you can run the command:
git config --global --edit and the git global config file should open in a text editor, and you can see where that file was loaded from.

Line ending format used in OS:
CR (Carriage Return \r) and LF (LineFeed \n) pairLF (LineFeed \n)We can configure git to auto-correct line ending formats for each OS in two ways.
.gitattributes filegit config --global core.autocrlf input This will fix any CRLF to LF when you commit.
git config --global core.autocrlf true This will make sure that, when you checkout in windows, all LF will be converted to CRLF.
It is a good idea to keep a .gitattributes file as we don't want to expect everyone in our team to set their own config. This file should be placed in the repository root and. If it exists, git will respect it.
* text=auto This will treat all files as text files and convert to OS's line ending on checkout and back to LF on commit automatically. If you want to specify the line ending explicitly, you can use:
* text eol=crlf * text eol=lf The first one is for checkout and the second one is for commit.
*.jpg binary This will treat all .jpg images as binary files, regardless of path. So no conversion needed.
Or you can add path qualifiers:
my_path/**/*.jpg binary If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
