Fix error: Delete ` ` eslint (prettier/prettier), and allow use double `cr` Visual Studio Code

Most of the times I keep encountering this issue and I have to google around how to fix it.. So, writing a blog for my future self to just refer from here and it might help others as well...

There are certain solutions which require changing into prettier or eslint config but the following solution works without those changes.

Problem

• Windows: Uses both carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) — written as CRLF.
• Linux and modern macOS: Use only line feed (LF).

These differences can cause compatibility problems when sharing or collaborating on code across different environments.

The Role of Git’s core.autocrlf

Git offers a configuration setting called core.autocrlf to manage line ending conversions:

• On Windows, this is typically set to true by default.
• When core.autocrlf is true, Git automatically converts line endings to CRLF when checking out files.
• When committing, Git converts them back to LF to store in the repository.

The Problem in Practice

When cloning a project on a Windows machine: Git converts all file line endings to CRLF in your local working directory.

Solution

To avoid automatic line ending conversions by Git, you can disable the behavior with the following command:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

This tells Git not to modify line endings when checking out or committing files. It helps maintain consistent line endings, which is especially useful when collaborating across different operating systems.

Note: After updating this setting, it's recommended to delete your local repository and clone it again. This ensures that all files are pulled with the correct line endings according to the new configuration.
