Configure Visual Studio to use UNIX line endings
We would like to use Visual Studio 2005 to work on a local copy of an SVN repository. This local copy has been checked out by Mac OS X (and updates and commits will only be made under Mac OS X, so no problem there), and as a consequence the line endings are UNIX-style.
We fear that Visual Studio will introduce Windows-style line endings. Is it possible to force V开发者_JAVA百科isual Studio to use UNIX line endings?
Warning: This solution no longer works for Visual Studio 2017 and later. Instead, both of the answers by jcox
and Munther Jaber
are needed. I have combined them into one answer.
As OP states "File > Advanced Save Options", select Unix Line Endings.
This will only affect new files that are created. Fixing any that were previously created can be done file-by-file or you can search for tools that will fix on-bulk.
Here are some options available for Visual Studio Community 2017
- "File > Advanced Save Options" has been removed by microsoft due to "uncommon use". Whatever that means. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/8290/file-advanced-save-options-option-is-missed.html You can add it back by going to "Tools>Customize", then "Commands" tab, select the drop down next to "Menu Bar" select "File" then "Add Command">File>Advanced Save Options..". You can then reorder it in the file menu by using "move down".
I don't know if you will have to then set the advanced save options for each and every file, but it might prevent the issue I was having where my Visual Studio kept adding CL RF line endings into my files that were uniformly LF.
But I took it one step further and I added an extension called "Line Endings Unifier" by going to "Tools>Extensions and Updates>Online" and then searching for "line endings" in the search bar to the right. I will use this to automatically force all of my scripts to save with uniform line endings of my choice, but you can do more with it. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JakubBielawa.LineEndingsUnifier
strip'em is another solution that does something similar to Line Endings Unifier. http://www.grebulon.com/software/stripem.php
I am not sure how they differ or the advantages/disadvantages of either. I'm mainly using Line Endings Unifier just because it was in the Visual Studio Marketplace. I think I've used all of these methods in the past, but my memory is fuzzy.
So I found this problem and the answers very confusing, especially since I primarily develop in Linux and PhpStorm and simply never have these issues.
I found that for Visual Studio 2019, only Munther Jaber's solution worked when combined with @jcox's .editorconfig
changes for new files.
However, being unfamiliar with Visual Studio itself, it took me a LONG TIME to find out where the line ending box is...
SO I made a video of how to configure this. https://youtu.be/YfN3igHXTPo
Update: I learned how to make animated GIFs via FFMPEG just so I could embed the video here!
VS2017 supports .editorconfig files, which can be checked in along with your project. This is the relevant command for setting Unix line endings:
end_of_line = lf
"File > Advanced Save Options", select Unix Line Endings works per file based.
Alternatively You can use Strip'em Add-in for Visual Studio
This Add-in converts the text format of a file when it is saved in Visual Studio.
More info here: http://www.grebulon.com/software/stripem.php
There are some VS extension that are useful to solve this problem I will recommend Trim line ends on save. This extension is free and open source. There are similar extensions that may work for you, just go to TOOLS | Extensions and Updates and search online for "line end"
For Visual Studio 2019 for Mac
Go to Project> Solution Options> Source Code> Code Formatting> Text File In the Line Terminations drop box select Unix/Mac.

The LF is clickable and you choose either LF or CRLF.
It is possible to force line endings in Visual Studio 2017 for Mac
- Go to Tools > Add Custom Tool....
- In the dialog box that appears scroll the left menu down to the Text Editor section and select General.
- In the first option, Line ending conversion, change
Leave line endings as is
toAlways convert line endings
.
In the latest version on Windows you go to
File > Preferences > Settings > Text Editor > Files > Eol
