Comment Comment by MzHN > Carriage returns in bash scripts are cursedAlso the full story here seemed to be1. Person installs git on Windows with autocrlf enabled, automatically converting all LF to CRLF (very cursed in itself in my opinion).2. Does their thing with git on the Windows' side (clone, checkout, whatever).3. Then runs the checked out (and now broken due to autocrlf) code on Linux instead of Windows via WSL.The biggest footgun here is autocrlf but I don't see how this is whole situation is the problem of any Linux tooling. parent MzHN 1 year ago
