Git converting CRLF to LF in images

Question

Everytime i add a new image to my project, Git convert CRLF to LF. It would be okay if the files came from windows, but it does not, I'm on Debian ! The files i'm getting from "pull" on my remote server are then corrupted =/

Use a .gitattributes file, where you put :

*.png binary

But it is quite strange that it isn't the case by default .

Maybe you use some other uncommon image format ?

Windows font maybe ! – Shakealot Feb 09 '16 at 10:08
Perfect. I renamed the corrupted files directory so git detect the modifications. Thanks – Shakealot Feb 09 '16 at 10:20

My problem was the .gitattribute file contained the line * text eol=lf which converted all files to text, including images. When changing the line to * text=auto eol=lf, git automatically detects whether a file is a binary and doesn't touch its line endings.

I mistakenly assumed that the default value would be auto, thank you for the clarification! – Justin C. Feb 16 '23 at 16:26
