Git checkout files with LF line endings
When using Git to checkout files with LF (Line Feed) line endings, you can set the core.autocrlf
configuration to handle line endings appropriately. Here's how you can do it:
Open a command prompt or terminal.
Navigate to your Git repository.
Run the following command to configure Git to handle line endings:
cssgit config --global core.autocrlf input
This configuration setting tells Git to convert all line endings to LF when checking out files.
Proceed to checkout the desired files:
luagit checkout <file-path>
Replace
<file-path>
with the path to the file you want to checkout.
By setting core.autocrlf
to input
, Git will maintain LF line endings for the files when checking them out, regardless of the platform. This helps ensure consistent line endings across different environments and avoids introducing unwanted line-ending changes.
Keep in mind that it's important to configure line-ending settings consistently across your team to avoid conflicts and unexpected line-ending behavior. Make sure to communicate the line-ending conventions and ensure that all team members have the appropriate Git configuration in place.
