[Geoserver-devel] git config configuration

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

I have a PR worth some discussion, net result of which is:

$ git config --global --get-regexp core.*

core.autocrlf input

core.safecrlf true

core.ignorecase true

core.precomposeunicode false

The “core.precomposeunicode” setting is macOS specific to prevent committing files in a conflicting format.
The “core.ignorecse” setting is required when on a case insensitive file system.

aside: The articles we link to no longer recommend use of core.autocrlf input, and instead recommend taking this setting into the repository .gitattributes file. Do we care?

Hi Jody,

do you have links that describe each setting?
How do these affect existing checkouts on the various OSses, is there a migration path
or one has to start over with a fresh checkout?

Cheers
Andrea

See the PR for description and some links.

Each of these settings was already in used on my normal checkout (I am apparently just documenting what I was already using).

I applied these settings to a fresh checkout that had “file conflicts” until precomposeunicode was applied.

Ok, so it’s just documentation for first time setup of git and those having a working checkout
are not concerned? I’ve checked my setup, it misses two of them. In particular, here is the output:

git config --global --get-regexp core.*
core.excludesfile /home/aaime/.gitignore
core.autocrfl input
core.safecrlf true
core.editor vim
core.attributesfile ~/.gitattributes

thus the missing bits are:

core.ignorecase true

core.precomposeunicode false

Cheers
