Automatically converting CRLF line endings to LF ones

From Ben's Writing

Run:

git config --global core.autocrlf true

This means that Git converts line endings to CRLF (Windows line endings) in your work tree and to LF (Unix line endings) in the repository. This is the right choice for cross-platform projects. If you wish to keep the old behavior, you can run

git config --global core.autocrlf false

for the user accounts that shall use the old default; or you can set the system-wide default by editing "etc/gitconfig" in the installation directory."
