Git replaced all of my LF with CRLF - How do I fix this?

Question

I just ran a

git add -A

on my first git project.

I got back about a thousand responses:

"warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF"

as it went through each file (Ruby files, some are gems).

I deleted my .git directory and tried to disable this default setting by typing this command:

git config core.autocrlf false

Then I tried to add the files again:

git add -A

But I got the same result. Help!

You likely have the core.autocrlf attribute set to true

It's a configuration attribute you can set:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html#%5Fchecking%5Fout%5Fand%5Fchecking%5Fin

To make sure that is set to false for all Git projects you can do:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

If you're on Vista, it sounds like a bug. Are you moving the files over FTP in ASCII mode by any chance?

If so, force binary mode ;)
