Why is git showing files as deleted and new instead of diff?

Somehow when committing a change, git shows a file as "deleted", and shows the same file as "added", instead of showing a diff. For example :

(-)file.txt

- hello world
- this is amazing
- some more text

(+)file.txt

+ hello world
+ this is amazing

Instead of showing

(+-) file.txt

hello world
this is amazing
- some more text

Do you have any idea what is causing this? I do not know exactly how this commit was submitted, but it looks like it somehow lost track of the deltas.

It is happening because of different line endings. You need to tell git to handle that differences:

$ git config --global core.autocrlf input
# Set this setting on OSX or Linux

$ git config --global core.autocrlf true
# Set this setting on Windows
