How can I re-normalize my git repo

Question

I have updated core.autocrlf option to be true (under Windows); now I want to re-normalize my git repository. How can I do that?

Answer 1

git rm --cached -r .
# Remove everything from the index.

git reset --hard
# Write both the index and working directory from git's database.

git add .
# Prepare to make a commit by staging all the files that will get normalized.
# This is your chance to inspect which files were never normalized. You should
# get lots of messages like: "warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in file."

git commit -m "Normalize line endings"
# Commit
