Configure Visual Studio to use UNIX line endings

Question

We would like to use Visual Studio 2005 to work on a local copy of an SVN repository. This local copy has been checked out by Mac OS X (and updates and commits will only be made

Answer 1

The LF is clickable and you choose either LF or CRLF.

Answer 2

VS2017 supports .editorconfig files, which can be checked in along with your project. This is the relevant command for setting Unix line endings:

end_of_line = lf

Answer 3

So I found this problem and the answers very confusing, especially since I primarily develop in Linux and PhpStorm and simply never have these issues.

I found that for Visual Studio 2019, only Munther Jaber's solution worked when combined with @jcox's .editorconfig changes for new files.

However, being unfamiliar with Visual Studio itself, it took me a LONG TIME to find out where the line ending box is...

SO I made a video of how to configure this. https://youtu.be/YfN3igHXTPo

Update: I learned how to make animated GIFs via FFMPEG just so I could embed the video here!
