Github Desktop "warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF"

Question

Using Github Desktop, I create a new repository. I then opened Unity Hub and created a new project inside that repository (using the Git Ignore "Unity" preset), made a few changes to the scene, and attempted to make an initial commit to master using Github desktop, and I get the error (repeated for what appears to be every file in the project):

 warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in DeleteMeProject/Assets/Scenes.meta.
 The file will have its original line endings in your working directory

I did some reading on line endings, and tried some git commands suggested here using Repository > Open Repository in Command Prompt, no luck.

Screenshot of the error: alt text Any ideas?

I figured it out. Because my .gitignore was in a folder (that was created when I created the repo) BESIDE the Unity project folder, I needed to modify the paths in the .gitignore to reflect this so it knew where to look. alt text

Thank you for this dude. I'm new to Unity and this was causing me a headache right from the start. For me, I pulled up all the project files to share the same folder for the git files and the errors went away. But I wouldn't have been able to figure it out without this post. Thanks again

Paste the below code

[core] autocrlf = false [filter "lfs"] required = true clean = git-lfs clean -- %f smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f process = git-lfs filter-process

FWIW I just ran into this on a project I just created. Solved it by simply making a change in the sample scene and saving it (I just created a cube, then deleted the cube).

Erhm, you do not need to modify the file / paths, just read the top comment in the file, and move the file into the root of the project as described ;)
