Why does git status show that all of my files are modified?

Bottles is built by Windows users, so all of the text files have CRLF line endings. These line endings are stored as-is in git (which means we all have autocrlf turned off). If you have autocrlf enabled, when you retrieve files from git, it will modify all of your files. Your best bet is to turn off autocrlf, and re-create your clone of Bottles.

1. Delete your local clone of the Bottles repository
2. Type: git config --global core.autocrlf false
3. Type: git config --system core.autocrlf false
4. Clone the Bottles repository again

Where is CommonAssemblyInfo.cs?

CommonAssemblyInfo.cs is generated by the build. The build script requires Ruby with rake installed.

1. Run InstallGems.bat to get the ruby dependencies (only needs to be run once per computer)
2. open a command prompt to the root folder and type rake to execute rakefile.rb

If you do not have ruby:

1. You need to manually create a src\CommonAssemblyInfo.cs file

   • type: echo // > src\CommonAssemblyInfo.cs
2. open src\Bottles.sln with Visual Studio and Build the solution
