Git setting up and fixing line endings

Instructions.md

UPDATE

Step 1 & 2 are no longer enough, as git will nag about irreversable conversions regardless of you asking it to convert things.

See This issue for an explanation.

Tl;Dr: git config --global core.safecrlf false

Step 1:

Set autoclrf=true

git config --global core.autocrlf true

Step 2:

.gitattributes along with your .gitignore in first commit in any newly initialized repo

Write-Output "* text=auto" | Out-File .gitattributes

Fixing borked line endings:

If you already have checked out the code, the files are already indexed. After changing your git settings you should refresh the indexes with

git rm --cached -r . and re-write git index with

git reset --hard https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#refreshing-a-repository-after-changing-line-endings
