Set line endings on a specific file within my local repository

We have a file in our repository that has crlf line endigs. However in my local environment I would like to have lf line endigs in that file. Is there a way to do that?



I found some information about configuration file .gitattributes but using this configuration file IMHO I can set line endings for a particular files within the repository. Moreover this file should be commited to the repository and therefore used by all users. I don't want to force other users to checkout this file with lf line endings.

          I don't know what you mean. Yes, attributes (in particular the text and eol attributes) can be used to set line endings for a file; that's not a matter of opinion.




          Moreover this file should be commited to the repository and therefore used by all users. I don't want to force other users to checkout this file with lf line endings.




          Attributes that should not be checked in are placed in .git/info/attributes (just as ignore rules that should not be checked in are placed in .git/info/excludes)

          • I did put attributes file in .git/info folder with content set to task text eol=lf where task is name of the file I would like to use with lf line endings, but when I try change line endings in the task file to lf and run git status it still tells me the file task is modified.

            @Behnil: Changes in the worktree are detected by comparing stat info. If you manually change the line endings, the stat info won't match, and the file will appear to have changed. I would expect if you git add the file, ti will no longer be shown as changed (and will also not show up as a staged change); but I'd say the "right" way to handle it is to delete and re-checkout the file (as the checkout is when line ending filters are applied).

          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
