How do you change core.autocrlf when using SmartGit?

Question

I don't have any experience with version control from the terminal but as far as I can tell SmartGit does not have a terminal nor does it use an external git client that I could configure via terminal so I don't really see how I can execute git configuration commands on it. Specifically, I want to do:

git config --global core.autocrlf true

Does it have an equivalent configuration option available from within the UI or is there some other way to apply this?

Answer 1

SmartGit/Hg uses the command line Git which is configured in the Preferences. Both, command line Git and SmartGit/Hg will honor the global core.autocrlf configuration from your .gitconfig file.

Answer 2

If you have problems with terminals, you could also edit the file $HOME/.gitconfig on Linux platforms or C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.gitconfig on Windows, and add the following lines to it:

[core]
    autocrlf = false

Also you can set the default EOL with:

[core]
    eol = lf
