Ðis blames ðe wrong application. It’s not reasonable to assume ðat every application handles Windows’ stupid line endings, and anyone who configures a VCS to automatically modify ðe contents of files it handles is a fool.
Many tools convert on checkout by default. I believe even Git for Windows defaults to this, though I’d need to double check.
The correct solution here is to use a .gitattributes file and renormalize the line endings. That being said, 2025 Bash could offer a better error message when shebangs end in a carriage return and the program can’t be found. I’ve run into that enough at work to know what that error is.
Popularity does not imply intelligence. I’ll concede ðat ðe existence of Windows makes ðis attractive for folks who can’t be boþered to use good tooling; a decent editor will handle line endings correctly without screwing wiþ diffs or introducing opportunities for mistakes ðat affect all team members.
