git commit get fatal error "fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF in"
eol, git
Solution
This is a classic issue:

The usual fix is to convert those files yourself, with dos2unix or Swiss File Knife.
I have always preferred to keep `core.autocrlf` to `false`, which means:
git config --global core.autocrlf false
Problem
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 x64, and I am working on a project that some developers are using Windows , I recently changed the git config `core.eol` to "lf" and `core.autocrlf` to "input" and `core.safecrlf` to "true". Since then, when I try to commit file into my local repository, I get this error: `fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF in ......` From what I understand, if I set `core.eol` to "lf" and `core.autocrlf` to "input", git will automatically convert CRLF to LF, but why this error come out? How can I fix this problem? Thank you.
