Question

How do I make

I use both windows and linux, but the solution core.autocrlf true didn't help me. I even got nothing changed after git checkout .

So I use workaround to substitute git status - gitstatus.sh

#!/bin/bash

git status | grep modified | cut -d' ' -f 4 | while read x; do
 x1="$(git show HEAD:$x | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f 1 )"
 x2="$(cat $x | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f 1 )"

 if [ "$x1" != "$x2" ]; then
    echo "$x NOT IDENTICAL"
 fi
done

I just compare md5sum of a file and its brother at repository.

Example output:

$ ./gitstatus.sh
application/script.php NOT IDENTICAL
application/storage/logs/laravel.log NOT IDENTICAL
