If you're working with a team using different operating systems, configuring line endings can help maintain consistency. |

If you're working with a team that uses different operating systems, you might run into issues with line endings. Windows uses a different line ending (\r\n) compared to UNIX systems (\n). This can cause problems when sharing files between different systems.
Luckily, Git provides a way to configure line endings for a repository. By setting the core.eol configuration, you can specify whether to use UNIX (\n) or DOS (\r\n) line endings in your repository.
You can simply run git config core.eol [lf | crlf] to configure the line endings for your repository. lf stands for UNIX line endings, while crlf stands for DOS line endings.
# Usage: git config core.eol [lf | crlf]
git config core.eol lf
# Configures to use UNIX line endings
git config core.eol crlf
# Configures to use DOS line endings
