I���ve been wondering how to better fix the problem of having windows and linux/macOS people contributing and the fact that files are written in their native system format (crlf windows, lf for the rest of the world). 

I digged a bit and I found a couple a link that helped me (after trying to understand the doc): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/170961/whats-the-best-crlf-carriage-return-line-feed-handling-strategy-with-git

and it seems adding a .gitattributes file with this content: 

could fix the problem?

can someone confirm this?

(I confess this issue confuses me a lot :P)

cheers!
