Question

I´m trying to set up vagrant with windows as host and ubuntu as guest.

I want to commint vagrant file itself to the repo so the steps would be, clone repo in windows

Answer 1

I would no recommend core.autocrlf to be set to anything else than 'false':

git config --global core.autocrlf false

It is a repository-wide setting, which will apply to all files, including binary ones. As I explain in "Trying to commit Git files but getting: fatal: LF would be replaced by CRLF in ", it can corrupt those.

If, for a certain type of files, you need to make sure of the EOL used in them, se a .gitattributes file in which you declare a core.eol directive.

To control what line ending style is used in the working directory, use the eol attribute for a single file and the core.eol configuration variable for all text files.

# Declare files that will always have CRLF line endings on checkout.
*.css text eol=lf
*.html text eol=lf
*.js text eol=lf
