how to set default line endings in source tree

[Danielle Sherstobitoff]

we've set the .attribute file in github.com but when we download .pas files to a local repository in source tree the LF isn't being turned into CRLF

Is there a setting to fix this?

I tried searching your KB but nothing so far.

This functionality doesn't exist in SourceTree but in GIT itself. You can configure GIT to do it by typing:

git config core.autocrlf true in a command line console in your repository directory. This sets it globally for all repos.

OR

You can edit the config file for each repository from SourceTree indirectly by opening Repository | Repository Settings | Advanced tab, then click on the Edit Config File button at the bottom.

You'll see something that looks like this:

[core]
 repositoryformatversion = 0
 filemode = false
 bare = false
 logallrefupdates = true
 symlinks = false
 ignorecase = true
 hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
...

Add autocrlf = true anywhere in the core section of the config file.

Warning: Notepad doesn't handle the initial line endings of the config file, use Wordpad or any editor you prefer.

While you're in the repository settings dialog, review the .gitignore file and make sure *.pas isn't declared there.
