Why do I see ^M characters in my shell scripts?

This occurs when a script has CRLF (Windows) line endings instead of LF (Unix). This skill provides commands like dos2unix or sed patterns to convert and normalize them for execution.

Should I use core.autocrlf true or a .gitattributes file?

While global configs work for individual setups, a .gitattributes file is the modern best practice for teams because it is committed to the repository and ensures everyone uses the same rules regardless of their local Git config.

How do I fix a repository where every line shows as changed?

This is typically caused by a line ending mismatch between your workspace and the index. The skill guides you through using 'git add --renormalize .' to correct the repository state without losing actual code changes.

Does this skill handle binary files?

Yes, it includes specific .gitattributes patterns to ensure binary files like images, PDFs, and archives are marked correctly so Git doesn't attempt to 'fix' their line endings and corrupt them.

部署与 DevOps

Standardizes Git line ending configurations across Windows, macOS, and Linux to prevent cross-platform file corruption and execution errors.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for managing Git line endings (LF vs CRLF) in cross-platform development environments. It helps teams configure local Git settings, implement robust .gitattributes files, and resolve common issues like 'bad interpreter' errors in shell scripts or massive, unintended diffs. By offering decision trees for configuration approaches and automated normalization workflows, it ensures repository consistency and prevents technical debt caused by invisible character mismatches across different operating systems.
