How do I force LF to be used for specific files in the Windows git sandbox?
A third-party build step for my project requires the LF line ending to be used in the XML configuration file, whether the build is done on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
For convenience, our git sandbox uses CRLF on Windows and LF on Mac/Linux, and our repository is LF. I need only this file to be LF anywhere.
How can I do this?
Solution
You might be able to use the .gitattributes file to set the line ending: of the file
yourfilename.txt text eol=lf
