Line endings should be consistent over all files in the repository

Open pfistererm opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, several files have Windows-style line endings, while all files should have Unix-style line endings.

Feature request

Expected Behavior - What where you expecting to happen?

All files should have Unix-style line endings.

Current Behavior - What happens?

Inconsistent line endings over files.

Possible Solution

Convert all files with Windows line ending to Unix line endings. However, please first merge existing pull requests, as this is a change that will merging very complicated.

We also might consider an automatic check for the correct line endings

Context

We already have much trouble because of inconsistent line endings. This is an annoying point that might demotivate contributors.

Notes and further information

I did a search with the following command on a checkout of the aposin master: find org.aposin.licensescout.* -exec file {} ; | grep CRLF I found 157 matching files.
