git thinks files have changed

Question

I did some work on a project on one machine, then pushed to github and, on another machine, cloned and did some work, then pushed. Then I went back to the first machine and did a `pull`. Now the first machine thinks all the files that were in the project originally were changed. I've tried ``` git checkout -f -- ``` and ``` git rm --cached -r . git checkout -f ``` and even tried ``` git stash ``` but no matter what I do, `git status` tells me those files have been changed. How do I make it stop?

Accepted Answer

This seems to be a line-ending/autocrlf issue. A great trick I realized for fixing this (if your index doesn't matter) is:

```
$ git add -u .
$ git reset .
```
