How can I discard modified files?

Question

This is a Linux 2.6 kernel repository. I git clone it to my local host.

After that. I didn\'t make any change. But when I \"git status\". I found 13 modified files.

Answer 1

There's another possibility where the issue is filemode-related. In that case you may try git config core.filemode false

Edit:

Another possibility would be the line endings, try setting git config core.autocrlf true|false|input and see if it makes any difference.
