Summary
Add a
.gitattributesfile pinning*.gofiles to LF line endings.Why
On Windows with the default
core.autocrlf=true, Git checks out.gofiles with CRLF, butgofmtalways writes LF. Result: everygofmtrun (including./rnr check) leaves.gofiles appearing "modified" ingit status. Staging them re-normalizes to the LF stored in HEAD, so the diff disappears, but the nextgofmtbrings the churn right back.Pinning
*.gotoeol=lftells Git to keep the working copy as LF on every platform, matchinggofmt's output. The cycle stops.Notes
git add --renormalize .was a no-op against.go), so this is purely a working-copy / checkout-time fix. No file content actually changes..gofiles. Other file types can be added in follow-ups if they cause similar issues.Test plan
./rnr checkand confirm no.gofiles appear ingit statusafterwards.git statusstill clean after running./rnr check.
