Git : few exes not properly checkout

Question

Am using git version 2.21.0.windows.1 with Git Extensions v 2.48.05 on Windows 10.

In our project there are few python executable. After I clone our repository, there are many exe which are not getting checked-out properly. I separately copied the python executable folder from other system and replaced it in my system, then noticed that there are changes in these executable.

Any suggestion to fix this issue is appreciated.

Unrelated but your version of Gitextensions is way too old. Please, update it. — Philippe, Nov 29 '19 at 07:07

Try again cloning, after a:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

That will ensure no end-of-line conversion is done, which can sometime mess up binaries.
A .gitattributes with eol=lf or crlf directives is more precise and won't touch all the files.

(On the other hands, binaries should not be versioned in a source control like Git, but fetched from a artifact referential like Nexus or Artifactory)

this didn't work...I'll update my git and git extension version and try once again – Sayan Bera Dec 01 '19 at 13:09
