Git crlf index error

Question

Sometimes when I scan for changed files from got GUI, it pops a crlf index warning and when I hit continue, it rescans the entire repository. Why do such warning occurs, and how it can be prevented?

It could be, for a warning like "warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF." (espacially on Windows) because of a setting like core.autocrlf

Try git config --global core.autocrlf to see if the issue persists, as I described in "Windows git “warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF”, is that warning tail backward?".
