Force line endings for a project to always be LF (*nix) and to automatically convert any encountered CRLF line endings to LF before making a commit. This is useful if you have a project that runs with vagrant on ubuntu, but you are doing development with windows.

# This is useful for a project that is checked out on windows, but all files are run on a linux machine
# otherwise we run into an issue where windows line endings are seen on the linux side which sometimes
# causes unexpected behavior.

git config core.eol lf
git config core.autocrlf input
