OS/2 tricks: Useful git settings
git is more and more used in open source projects. Fortuantely, git is available on OS/2, too. Here, I would introduce some useful settings on OS/2. core.autocrlf This sets how to process eol. If this is false, git does not convert eol at all. If it is true, eol is converted to LF on check-in, but converted to CR/LF on check-out. This is useful, but sometimes some shell scripts or unixy programs trigger errors due to eol problem. This is because shells and programs ported to OS/2, do not process eol with unified way. If it is input, eol is converted to LF on check-in, but git does not care eol of files in a working tree. I recommend this. but remember that REXX scripts should have CR/LF eol. For this, append [*.cmd eol=crlf] to .gitattributes file. In order to set, use this command, git config --global core.autocrlf input apply.whitespace EOL is always a problem. Some git commands refuse to process tasks due to whitespace, Primarily CR/LF. But, if you set this var...
