Git config for cross platform line endings

CrossPlatGit.md

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_formatting_and_whitespace

Windows

Convert LF endings into CRLF when you check out code.

core.autocrlf=true

Linux

Convert CRLF to LF on commit but not the other way around.

core.autocrlf=input

This setup should leave you with CRLF endings in Windows checkouts, but LF endings on Mac and Linux systems and in the repository.

SHOULD NEVER BE USED

This will set CRLF in the repository. core.autocrlf=false
