Hi, Using git version 2.22.0.windows.1
I have a repository with number of .txt files encoded in little-endian UTF-16 with BOM. What are the best practice and recommended configuration to manage such files with Git to avoid unexpected re-encoding to UTF-8 or others? Currently, there is .gitattriuts with entries like resource/*.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16LE-BOM -text Despite that some of team members have noticed that the files occacionally get re-encoded to UTF-8. It is unknow what are actual steps leading to that. BTW, there a few Git clients in use: git in Git Bash, VSCode, Fork. What bothers me in the .gitattributes is this `-text` attribute. Is the use of `working-tree-encoding` and `-text` together a valid combination at all? The documentation at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes does not seem to touch on that. I'll appreciate any suggestions on those UTF-16LE-BOM files. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
