  • 1.  Does "git checkout" use the .gitattributes file?

    Posted 04-03-2018 02:28

    Being no GIT expert, I can only assume that GIT stores it data internally in ASCII. I’ve come to this conclusion because of the information in the .gitattributes file eg

    * working-tree-encoding=ibm-1047 git-encoding=iso8859-1
    .gitattributes working-tree-encoding=iso8859-1 git-encoding=iso8859-1

    Through trial and error I’ve found that its the “GIT ADD” that uses the info in .gitattributes.

    But what about “GIT CHECKOUT” ? If I delete .gitattributes, shouldn’t the file come back in ASCII ? As there is nothing telling GIT is should convert it to EBCDIC.

    This doesn’t seem to be the case. But I don’t understand why not.

    Regards,
    Gary

    You have to remove the existing EBCDIC files after removing the .gitattributes files and then checkout again. It’s a slightly tricky operation. Here’s an example:

    bash-4.3$ git clone git@github.com:zorts/hello_world.git
    Cloning into 'hello_world'...
    bash-4.3$ cd hello_world/
    bash-4.3$ ls -alT
