Prevent CRLF conversion in a specific folder

Question

I configured GIT to automatically handle newline character conversion between Linux and Windows. But in my project there is a specific folder in which I want GitHub to leave the newline characters as they are (Linux style).

So, I created a .gitattributes file in this folder and placed this line inside:

*.txt -crlf

I clicked on Linux, pulled out Windows, but Windows still has Windows-style newline characters.

I also tried:

*.txt -text
*.txt binary
*.txt eol=lf

does not work.

What should I do?

Answer 1

This is the .gitattributes line you want:

*.txt text eol=lf
