## git setup #2
```bash
- # editor
- git config --global core.editor emacs
+ # command line editor
+ git config --global core.editor nano
- # WINDOWS ONLY: let git handle line endings
+ # Linux GNOME / KDE
+ git config --global core.editor gedit
+ git config --global core.editor kate

git config --global core.autocrlf true
```
notes:
- - talk about line endings
+ ### line endings
+ - explain the difference: Windows CRLF, everyone else LF, some
+ accept only LF
- maintainers may reject contributions because of line endings
- - difference between git config and editor config
- - you can have fine grained control over this with gitattributes(5)
+ - on Windows, git can do it for you, via `dos2unix`
+ - fine grained control with `man 5 gitattributes`
