Workarounds

  1. 95% success Create .gitattributes with line ending rules for your project 
    * text=auto
*.sh text eol=lf
*.bat text eol=crlf

    Sources: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_end_of_line_conversion

  2. 88% success Set core.autocrlf=input on Linux/Mac or =true on Windows 
    git config --global core.autocrlf input

    Sources: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_core_autocrlf
