Git line endings

On Windows, Git can change file line endings (LF ↔ CRLF). KoryHub compares files byte for byte: a file whose line endings alone changed is seen as modified.

The symptom

After a git clone or git checkout, kory update or kory remove report files "modified by you" although you did not touch them.

Why

The core.autocrlf=true setting, common on Windows, converts line endings on checkout. Files written by kory pull are then no longer identical to the kory's.

The recommended setting

Tell Git never to convert the files installed by kory. In the .gitattributes file at the project root, add one line per install folder:

src/Payments/** -text

Then have Git read the files again:

git add --renormalize .

What KoryHub compares

The checksums in kory.lock are computed on the exact bytes of each file, with no conversion. That is how KoryHub knows for sure whether you changed a file.
