Describe your issue here

Some files are coded with BOM:

./TwitchDownloaderCLI/Modes/Arguments/FfmpegArgs.cs: Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text

Other don't:

./TwitchDownloaderCLI/Modes/Arguments/ITwitchDownloaderArgs.cs: ASCII text

Looks like files with edited with different file editors or operating systems, and the are mixed up: Comparing changes shows changes to lines that weren't actually changed

If a handful of popular editors automatically mess with the BOM without user input, is there really any point for us to normalize all the BOMs?

[superbonaci]

It's a matter of consistency, it should compile just fine unless some later VS update forces to.

[ScrubN]

MSBuild removing BOM handling would be a pretty devastating breaking change, so I don't anticipate that ever happening.

Can .cs files be normalized to BOM in .gitattributes ?

[ScrubN]

No, the BOM cannot be normalize in .gitattributes. You can set the text encoding for the local working tree, but UTF-8 with BOM does not seem to be an applicable option and all the documentation and examples I found only mention UTF-16.
