If you want to normailze your repo, and keep it normalized, I can recommend to use .gitattributes.

Please see the excellent page here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html And especially this part:

$ echo "* text=auto" >>.gitattributes $ rm .git/index # Remove the index to force git to $ git reset # re-scan the working directory $ git status # Show files that will be normalized $ git add -u $ git add .gitattributes $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
