Ensure that shell scripts and Dockerfiles use Unix line-endings

Based on that link isn't it easier to just add core.autocrlf = input to your gitconfig?

[tonistiigi]

Why only these files? We only use unix line-endings.

[cowwoc]

@tonistiigi Because most other text files, like source-code, are expected to have CRLF line endings on Windows.

I agree with @tonistiigi — enforcing LF consistently is important.

I usually work in teams with a mix of Windows and Linux devs, and setting the following helps avoid cross-platform line-ending issues:

In .gitattributes:

* text = lf

And in .editorconfig:

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf


This makes sure both Git and editors enforce LF, which avoids diffs from accidental CRLF on Windows. This ensures editors (like VS Code, IntelliJ, etc.) also respect LF line endings, regardless of local defaults.

[cowwoc]

From what I read, not all Windows editors support LF endings but you're right that all the major coding editors certainly do.

I'm fine with defaulting to LF endings if you guys prefer. Let me know if you want me to update the PR accordingly.

[tonistiigi]

Let's change it to lf for all text files if we want to get this in.

[cowwoc]

Done. Try now.
