With Git, when using the autocrlf = true flag, a warning is still given when line-endings are changed.

I understand what the warning is for, and how to turn off the line-ending flag, but how do I turn off the warning itself?

git-config line-endings git

Funnily enough, I had applied both configs like explained here, and my .gitconfig file contained these 2 lines:

[core]
       autocrlf = false
       whitespace = cr-at-eol

Yet I got the warning. Now just to try I commented out both lines and the warning actually disappeared. No idea why I put them in the first place however...

Setting "core.safecrlf false" works. However, after I changed the value to 'true' The output changes from 'warning' to 'fatal' as shown below.

$ git add -A
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in .gitignore.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory

$ git config --global core.safecrlf false

$ git reset

$ git config --global core.safecrlf true

$ git add -A
fatal: LF would be replaced by CRLF in .gitignore
