Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] .gitattributes: default lf line endings for text files
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2022 17:20:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220622212045.573-2-james.knight@collins.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220622212045.573-1-james.knight@collins.com>
Default the line endings for text files to be LF. The building of a
Buildroot project is most likely always invoked from an environment
using LF line endings. For developers working with various environments
(e.g. Linux and Windows), defaulting to LF can help improve a
developer's user experience. For example, with a clean checkout on a
Windows environment, a developer can trigger a configure and build with
two commands in their desired VM/container, without having to worry
about configuring `core.autocrlf`:
make O=~/buildtest qemu_x86_defconfig
make O=~/buildtest
