LF will be replaced by CRLF

• By Morshed Alam • Error
I was getting following message while trying to add files to GIT index:

Warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF ....

By google search I found that - whenever tried to add files to the repository, git thinks that, the file is a text file and all files automatically will have their LF line endings converted to CRLF endings.

It's an important warning for a binary file because git incorrectly assesses a binary file to be a text file but it's OK for text file.

The line-ending conversion can be prevent by setting false of core.autocrlf attribute. By default it remains true.

The command is as follows(in Bash mode):
git config core.autocrlf false
