Hints to using Git on a Windows PC for a project coded and managed with Unix?

The server is also Unix-based. What precautions do I need to take regarding setting up Git? And In particular the part where it provides the 3 line-ending options…

It kind of depends on what tools you and your colleagues are using. Since you're the only person using Windows, I'm assuming that the codebase is already using Unix-style line-feeds instead of Windows-style carriage-return + line-feeds.

If that is the case, then you can either work locally with Windows line-endings and have Git automatically convert text files to Unix style when you commit, or you can work with Unix line-endings locally, and just set your editor to use them.

To have Git automatically convert Windows style endings to Unix style, use

git config core.autocrlf true
