Maybe a more accurate title would be "... using MICROSOFT apps and tools"
Non-Microsoft Windows tools like notepad2 and notepad++ handle unix line-endings just fine.
Why do Microsoft's Windows apps refuse to handle them?
- just_myles 7y agoDon't know and that used to drive me crazy. It's I knew it was a windows user because of the carriage return. Also encoding would be a nightmare as well.
- JohnFen 7y agoThe issue isn't the line endings. As the linked article points out, the issue is around file-locking and that Windows cannot correctly handle Linux file metadata (permissions, owner, etc.)
