Issue
Running Windows on Mac via Parallels we can't seem to figure out the right Git settings so that we don't get line ending file changes.
Details
The Git repo is on the Windows vm and is a shared drive that we can access on our Mac so we can edit our Angular code.
I've read many of the articles on StackOverflow, but they don't seem to solve the problem.
Is it possible to be in Windows and working on a cSharp file, and make commits from the command line.
Then slide over to Mac, edit some javascript, and then in a mac terminal make a commit without constantly having line ending changes on other unrelated files?
We've been playing with core.autocrlf and core.eol and .gitattributes but it seems like not matter what we do, one OS or the other will show tons of file changes( which end up being line endings) but our editors are not making the change.
I can just do a clone on windows, and then on mac do a git status and it will make it look like every file changed.
Question
What do the settings need to be?
Step 1: On Windows
git config --global --unset core.eol
git config --global core.autocrlf true
// on a new branch
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard
git commit "Reset Line Endings" //(I expected this to be larger).
[line 4d14aa1] Reset EOL
9 files changed, 12910 insertions(+), 12910 deletions(-)
git status
$ git status
On branch line
nothing to commit, working directory clean
Step 2: On Mac
git config --unset core.eol
git config --global core.autocrlf input
git status

Step 3: On Windows
git status
