====== Git line endings problem ======
When line ending cross-platform differences are causing git to modify files //(Warning: LF will be converted to CRLF or vice-versa)//:
We can change config settings on each repo, or better yet, using shared .gitattributes file

More info here https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/

Sample //.gitattributes// file when we want to force LF line endings here: https://gist.github.com/dpalomar/ebc64d6f56cfc25a3e5c20fe7cdfbd4f

<code>
# These settings are for any web project

# Handle line endings automatically for files detected as text
# and leave all files detected as binary untouched.
* text=auto

# Force the following filetypes to have unix eols, so Windows does not break them
*.* text eol=lf

# Windows forced line-endings
/.idea/* text eol=crlf

#
## These files are binary and should be left untouched
#

# (binary is a macro for -text -diff)
