Setting text=auto in .gitattributes is equivalent to setting core.autocrlf=input in the Git's configuration. To cite the gitattributes(5) manual page: Set to string value "auto" When text is set to "auto", the path is marked for automatic end-of-line normalization. If git decides that the content is text, its line endings are normalized to LF on checkin. Now let's cite the git-config(1) manual page: core.autocrlf Setting this variable to "true" is almost the same as setting the text attribute to "auto" on all files except that text files are not guaranteed to be normalized: files that contain CRLF in the repository will not be touched. Use this setting if you want to have CRLF line endings in your working directory even though the repository does not have normalized line endings. This variable can be set to input, in which case no output conversion is performed. This is kind of moot so consider reading [1] instead. 1. http://stackoverflow.com/a/20653073/720999 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
