Line endings on windows cause git to show a warning that confuses new users

Open ekohl opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

When you use git on Windows in the default configuration it warns about line endings. Warnings scare new users and I know there are some options to not show the warning. There should be instructions to remove this warning.

I don't fix it's a good idea to remove all warnings. We could add a note the first time this warning appears.

I don't have access to a Windows machine but I think there should be instructions on how to set up git that it doesn't warn on the line endings. There is https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/. Can anyone with more knowledge of Windows can verify this is a proper solution?
