As one can glean from other posts , Git's end-of-line normalization has its pros and cons. I have one particular Windows-only project where I think the best thing to do is to is to disable end-of-line normalization altogether. That is, I want to leave all newlines (most of which are CRLF ) intact, rather than have git normalize them to LF -only behind the scenes, and I want that change to affect all clones of the repository on all machines. The question is the most effective way to do it. Most discussions of Git end-of-line normalization are in terms of core.autocrlf , and I could accomplish my goal by setting core.autocrlf=false . However, this is a git-config setting, and I believe one has to set that separately on each machine by machine. If true, that seems error prone, especially since the msysgit installer guides one into setting core.autocrlf=true .
