With Git, how do I turn off the "LF will be replaced by CRLF" warning

With Git, when using the autocrlf = true flag, a warning is still given when line-endings are changed.

I understand what the warning is for, and how to turn off the line-ending flag, but how do I turn off the warning itself?


You can turn off the warning with

git config --global core.safecrlf false

(This will only turn off the warning, not the function itself.)


You should use core.autocrlf input and core.eol input. Or just don't let git change the line endings at all with autocrlf false and get rid of highlighting of crlfs in diffs, etc with core.whitespace cr-at-eol.

Hope this helps


I used this way:

Save your current files in Git, so that none of your work is lost.

git add . -u
git commit -m "Saving files before refreshing line endings"

Remove every file from Git's index.

git rm --cached -r .

Rewrite the Git index to pick up all the new line endings.

git reset --hard

Add all your changed files back, and prepare them for a commit. This is your chance to inspect which files, if any, were unchanged.

git add .
# It is perfectly safe to see a lot of messages here that read
# "warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in file."

Commit the changes to your repository.

git commit -m "Normalize all the line endings"
