+# Git and File Line Endings on Windows
+
+LF only in all Cordova Repositories (execption `cordova-windows`)
+
+usually `git config --global core.autocrlf true` is a great solution: CRLF on Windows working copy (checkout), but LF everywhere else.
+breaks down when using working copy to create a release with e.g. `npm pack` or similar.
+
+Solution: `.gitattributes` with `* text eol=lf`. Tells git to always use LF, also on Windows.
+Caution: Files created locally with CRLF stay that way locally.
+
+Fix automatically:
+Commit everything, delete everything but `.git`, `git reset`.
+
+Fix manually:
+Find files (and lines) that still have CRLF:
+`grep -Pnr --include=* --exclude-dir=\.git '\r$' .`
+`find . -not -type d -exec file "{}" ";" | grep CRLF` (Git bash on Windows)
+Convert: `dos2unix`
