I work regularly with several different project types and languages across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
I find some basic settings for Git and VS Code smooth out some headaches.
My user settings include:
"files.eol": "\n", // Windows usually doesn't care, but Linux/Mac tooling is way more sensitive
"editor.trimAutoWhitespace": true,
"editor.fontSize": 16,
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 0,
"[powershell]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4
},
"[ruby]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
}
My git config consists of:
[credential]
helper = wincred
[user]
email = <my email here>
name = Steven Murawski
signingkey = <my gpg signing key here>
[diff]
tool = default-difftool
[difftool "default-difftool"]
cmd = code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE
[alias]
commit = commit -S -s
[core]
editor = code --wait
eol = lf
autocrlf = input
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore
[difftool "winmerge"]
cmd = /c/Program\\ Files\\ \\(x86\\)/WinMerge/WinMergeU.exe
[gpg]
program = c:/Program Files (x86)/GNU/GnuPG/gpg2.exe
Since I work on a number of projects that require a DCO signoff, I just default to signing off my commits (alias.commit) and I GPG sign them because I like how they look in the GitHub UI. ;)
I've set git to only use Linux line feeds for new clones/fetches (core.eol) and change anything with CRLFs on upload (core.autocrlf). To aid in this, my editor config has line endings set to \n as well.

Here are the git commands I used to change my eol and to disable autocrlf. :)
