git+dropbox, 2 platforms - Windows 7 and Mac OSX 10.8.3

I start with a opencart project in Mac OSX.

I use GitHub client to commit to repo. I had committed few times, got 6-7 commit records.

My source code is store inside dropbox.

I also got another workstation which is working in Windows. I have sync all the file in Windows.

In Windows, I used TortoiseGIT. In the Windows Explorer, it shows exactly the same like same Mac, which means what file I edit before it shows red exclamation mark. File didn't amend, it got a green tick.

However, in Windows when I select GIT Commit to Master, it shows all my files are modified. I go to Command Prompt check with git status, it also showed all the file is modified.

When the modified file (actual modified file) dropbox sync with Mac OSX, in Mac OSX, I can track the real modified file. Mac OSX work perfect.

But it is not work well in Windows.

What actually goes wrong?

It's probably related to differing line endings. See this Github article for details and instructions on how to clean up the repository.

That is normal. It is a encoding problem between mac and windows. I had that too a few times. I think you first worked on mac and created the whole project there? So all the files are mac encoded.. Maybe this question and the answers could help you further: GitHub: Using UTF-8 encoding for files
