Resolve LF status error#
Occasionally, when adding binary files or files with different line endings to the repository, a working copy may enter a state with changes that can not be reverted (by stash or checkout).
warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in build_config/wix/sumo.wxs.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
Solution (stackoverflow):
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard

Git commit hooks#
We are using pre-commit. To enable it for your checkout it should suffice to do the following calls in your git repo:
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
It will enable checks for trailing whitespace, LF at the end of every file as well as parsable yaml files and a maximum file size of 500kb. Furthermore it will do the style checks for C++ and Python using astyle and autopep8. Every commit which does not pass the tests will fail. Checks are not performed for the tests directory. Style errors will be repaired automatically, so that you can issue another commit right afterwards (depending on your tool you might need to stage the changes first).
If you want to run the checks manually without committing,
you can just run pre-commit. If you want to check all files (not only the ones which will be part of the commit)
run pre-commit run --all.
The configuration can be found in .pre-commit-config.yaml.
