.gitattributes

# This file sets the default file normalisation behavior, 
# and is useful in case people don't have 'core.autocrlf' config variable set.
# (When a text file is normalized, its line endings are converted to LF in the repo).
# https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#platform-all

# The 'core.autocrlf = true' is a config variable: set to true on Windows, input on *nix. 
# Note, this does not force normalization of all text files, but does ensure that NEW 
# text files that you introduce to the repo have their line endings normalized to LF 
# when they are added, and that files that are already normalized in the repo stay normalized as LF. 
# It will NOT normalise files existing in the repo that have CLRF endings !

# To automatically normalize line endings to LF for all text-based files
# and convert to NATIVE endings on checkout, use '* text=auto' 
# https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_end_of_line_conversion

* text=auto

# Refreshing a repo to re-normalise: 
# When text=auto normalization is enabled in an already EXISTING repository, any text 
# files containing CRLFs in the repo need to be newly normalized! If they are not they will 
# be normalized the next time someone tries to change them, causing unfortunate misattribution. 
# To force a normalisation of all text files, see recipes at: 
# https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_end_of_line_conversion
# https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#platform-all
# Or use a tool like eclipse to change all CRLFs to LFs and commit the file. 

# To explicitly declare text files you want to always be normalized and converted
# to NATIVE line endings on checkout: 
*.c text
*.h text
*.php text
*.xml text
*.txt text
*.xsd text
*.md text

# The eol attribute sets a specific line-ending style to be used in the WORKING DIRECTORY:

# To normalize line endings to LF on checkin but prevent conversion to CRLF on checkout: 
#*.css text eol=lf

# To normalize line endings for this file on checkin and convert them to CRLF on checkout: 
#*.sln text eol=crlf

# Denote all files that are truly binary and should not be modified.
*.png binary
*.jpg binary
*.gif binary
