With Git, how do I turn off the "LF will be replaced by CRLF" warning
GitLine EndingsGit ConfigGit Problem Overview
With Git, when using the autocrlf = true
flag, a warning is still given when line-endings are changed.
I understand what the warning is for, and how to turn off the line-ending flag, but how do I turn off the warning itself?
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
You can turn off the warning with
git config --global core.safecrlf false
(This will only turn off the warning, not the function itself.)
Solution 2 - Git
You should use core.autocrlf input
and core.eol input
. Or just don't let git change the line endings at all with autocrlf false
and get rid of highlighting of crlfs in diffs, etc with core.whitespace cr-at-eol
.
Hope this helps

I used this way: > Save your current files in Git, so that none of your work is lost. > > git add . -u > git commit -m "Saving files before refreshing line endings" > > Remove every file from Git's index. > > git rm --cached -r . > > Rewrite the Git index to pick up all the new line endings. > > git reset --hard > > Add all your changed files back, and prepare them for a commit. This > is your chance to inspect which files, if any, were unchanged. > > git add . > # It is perfectly safe to see a lot of messages here that read > # "warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in file." > > Commit the changes to your repository. > > git commit -m "Normalize all the line endings"
Solution 4 - Git
You're looking for the core.whitespace
option (see git config --help
for details).
You can set this option like so:
$ git config core.whitespace cr-at-eol
Solution 5 - Git
Funnily enough, I had applied both configs like explained here, and my .gitconfig file contained these 2 lines:
[core]
autocrlf = false
whitespace = cr-at-eol
Yet I got the warning. Now just to try I commented out both lines and the warning actually disappeared. No idea why I put them in the first place however...
Solution 6 - Git
Setting "core.safecrlf false" works. However, after I changed the value to 'true' The output changes from 'warning' to 'fatal' as shown below.
$ git add -A
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in .gitignore.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory
$ git config --global core.safecrlf false
$ git reset
$ git config --global core.safecrlf true
$ git add -A
fatal: LF would be replaced by CRLF in .gitignore
