git convert CRLF to LF

[puddlejumper26]

Sometimes we have problem with the CRLF and LF things, it is very common.

And it is normally the problem with Git. When we have

taken from this website

https://gist.github.com/ajdruff/16427061a41ca8c08c05992a6c74f59e

first we need to set the crlf and lf to the correct value with terminal

git config --global core.autocrlf false
git config --global core.autolf true

This is for the global, therefore we need to also consider about the settings in other places.

we could find them throug git config --list it will display as following

core.symlinks=false
core.autocrlf=true
core.fscache=true
color.diff=auto
color.status=auto
color.branch=auto
color.interactive=true
help.format=html
...

If we don't know where the default git file is, we could use git config --list --show-origin it will displays as following

file:"C:\\ProgramData/Git/config"    core.symlinks=false 
file:"C:\\ProgramData/Git/config"    core.autocrlf=true 
file:"C:\\ProgramData/Git/config"    core.diff=false
...

Then we could find and open the config throug the path, to change as following

core.autocrlf = false
core.autolf = true

Hey, I found this really helpful. Just for reference however 'autolf' is not a built in git attribute. When you type 'git config --global core.autolf true' you make a false attribute that doesn't do anything. It's enough to simple type 'git config --global core.autocrlf false'
