A fellow coder uses a Windows computer that is putting carriage returns everywhere in our source.
Is there a way to write a git hook that converts all \r\n
to \n
?
Note I haven't used git hooks before, so a little extra hand-holding might go a long way :)
The simplest thing is to set core.autocrlf
to false on The Windows side.
(that way Git won't do any conversion and will keep the eol untouched).
On the unix side, a core.autocrlf
set to true could help restore the proper eol.
As mathepic mentions in the comments, and as I described in this SO answer, since Git1.7.2, you can use core.eol
(to native), keeping core.autocrlf
to false.
Otherwise you can use a text driver or a filter driver with gitattributes
files.
No hooks needed.
If they're using TortoiseGit, there's an option to do this for you, under Git->Config->Auto CRLF convert.
