How do I force git to use LF instead of CR+LF under windows?
- by Sorin Sbarnea
I want to force git to checkout files under Windows using just LF not CR+LF. I checked the two configuration options but I was not able to find the right combination of settings.
I want it to convert all files to LF and keep the LF on the files.
Remark: I used autocrlf = input but this just repairs the files when you commit them. I want to force it to get them using LF.
Probably I wasn't so clear: the repository is already using LF but the files checked out using msysgit are using CR+LF and I want to forge msysgit to get them with LF: forcing Unix line endings.
