EOL (End Of Line)

There are two types:

• LF (Line Feed), which uses one: \n
  • This is used by all apps on all systems across the planet, with the exception of all those built by Microsoft Corporation, of course.
• CRLF (Carriage Return and then Line Feed), which uses two characters/codes as implied : \r\n
  • Used exclusively by Microsoft Corporation. On purpose.

Force LF (\n) always, everywhere.

Always.

Everyhwere.

This works always and everywhere, even on all modern Windows applications. Contrarily, any file having any line ending(s) of type CRLF (\r\n) will cause failure(s) at almost all Linux file-processing utilities and pipelines.

How to force EOL of type LF:

@ ~/.gitattributes

* text=auto eol=lf
# Declare otherwise-questionable binary type(s) to ensure they are ignored (unmodified) by above:
*.gif  binary 
*.webp binary 
*.tiff binary 
*.png  binary 
*.jpg  binary 
*.jpeg binary 
*.pdf  binary 

Absent that setting, Git (silently) modifies all files per environment (Linux/Mac or Windows). So, any file subsequently extracted may or may not be restored, depending upon where/how that file was obtained.

Git connectivity script

If SSH key is protected by passphrase

account=sempernow
key=~/.ssh/github_$account
# Enable SSH agent (cache passphrase)
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add "$key"

Then/Else

## Create SSH tunnel sans terminal allocation 
ssh -T git@$host
git config --list # List all
# (Re)Set identity globally
git config --global user.name "$(id -un)"
git config --global user.email $(id -un)@$(hostname -f)
project=${PWD##*/} # If at project root
# Add origin (once)
git remote add origin $account/$project.git 
# (Re)Set access mode : HTTPS|SSH(prefer)
git remote set-url origin git@$host:$account/$project.git       # SSH
git remote set-url origin https://$host/$account/${PWD##*/}.git # HTTPS

Workflow

# Login per ssh : See github script @ ~/.bin
. github ssh

# Version (Tag) a commit
git tag -a v0.1.2 $commit

# Push the current commit 
git push origin master
# Push the version (info)
git push origin v0.1.2

# Delete a version
git tag -d v0.1.1                  # Delete local
git push origin --delete v0.1.1    # Delete remote

# Branch : Checkout else Create
gch [NAME] # defaults to new; NAME=MM:SS

# Branch : Delete 
git branch -d NAME             # Local
git push origin --delete NAME  # Remote

# Repo : Rebase
_max_squash=$(( $( git rev-list --count HEAD ) - 1 ))
git rebase -i HEAD~$_max_squash

• The git rebase ... command automatically opens the meta file with editor declared @ .gitconfig

@ vim | # To squash commits 2-7 :2,7s/pick/s/g # Then delete/add/edit commit message # Then exit edit mode, then save and exit vim ESC ZZ

Then push to remote; origin (remote) is "ahead" after squashing commits, so force is required.

git push --force-with-lease
