强制SourceTree忽略git文件中的行结尾

Question

There are so many posts but still the resolution is not clear or isn't working for me. Problem seems to be well known..

1. I checked out my project in unix and git status shows no differences. Settings here:

    bash-3.2$ git config core.autocrlf false bash-3.2$ git config core.whitespace cr-at-eol 

2. But I also like to use SourceTree (pointing to the same Unix code base through NFS mount) for some conveniences. Settings for those above attributes are exactly same.
   But SourceTree shows a bunch of differences in based on purely line endings.

What is the straightforward solution for this?
How come SourceTree has no settings in the UI around this?

Answer 1

There is a gear icon near the diff-ui section of the SourceTree app that show your file difference, you can click on it and set it to show whitespace or ignore whitespace !! I googled for hours, and finally got the answer after searching for SourceTree equivalent of the git command:

Git version <= 1.8.3.4:
git diff --ignore-space-at-eol -b -w [commit] ...

Git version >= 1.8.4:
git diff --ignore-space-at-eol -b -w --ignore-blank-lines [commit] ...

See the options definition below:

--ignore-space-at-eol 
Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.

-b 
--ignore-space-change 
Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace at line end, 
and considers all other sequences of one or more whitespace characters to be 
equivalent.

-w 
--ignore-all-space 
Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences even if one 
line has whitespace where the other line has none.

[git version 1.8.4+]--ignore-blank-lines 
Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
