@justintobler started a discussion: (+4 comments) when I clone this project and inspect the contents of
CRLF
locally I can see the file contains\r\n
line-endings. But when I download the file via the UI or query it via GraphQL the line endings are all changed to\n
.
Steps to reproduce
- Git clone this example project.
- Open the file called
CRLF
in the cloned project and notice the line endings are\r\n
. - Download the file via GitLab or query the file contents via GraphQL and notice all line endings are changed to
\n
.
git cloned | downloaded | GraphQL |
