add .gitattributes and normalize line endings to LF - #122
Merged
Conversation
The repo had no .gitattributes and a mix of LF (168) and CRLF (108) text-file blobs, so file end-of-line style could flip between commits and inflate diffs with phantom deleted/re-added lines (e.g. a full-file rewrite recently showed +417/-137 for a real +281/-1 change). Introduce a .gitattributes that stores all text files with LF in the repository (text=auto) while leaving working-tree endings to core.autocrlf, so Windows checkouts still get CRLF locally. Known binary assets (*.stl, *.png, *.pw) are marked binary so their bytes are never converted. Existing CRLF-blob files are renormalized to LF in the same commit; every non-.gitattributes change here is end-of-line only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
