Make Git “LF will be replaced by CRLF” warnings go away

Question

I have setup Git so it doesn\'t commit inconsistent line endings. The problem with that is a whole pile of files appear modified even though they are not. What do I type to

Answer 1

You can just delete and re-checkout the offending files from the index like this:

rm 
git checkout -- 

Or, if they are the only modified files (be careful with this command), you can script it like this:

git diff --name-only --diff-filter=M | xargs rm --
git checkout -- .

On a GNU system you can use a slightly safer pipe, but you don't appear to have spaces or other delimiting characters in your filenames in any case.

git diff -z --name-only --diff-filter=M | xargs -0 rm --
