It generates gitattributes file exclusively for your project. Go ahead and generate yours at http://ihopepeace.github.io/gitattributes_generator/. You don't have to read further for generating.

Every time you press return on your keyboard you're actually inserting an invisible character called a line ending. Historically, different operating systems have handled line endings differently.

When you view changes in a file, Git handles line endings in its own way. Since you're collaborating on projects with Git and GitHub, Git might produce unexpected results if, for example, you're working on a Windows machine, and your collaborator has made a change in OS X.

Using .gitattributes file you can overcome this problem most effectively. You can read more here https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/

The project is not even in its beta. You are highly encouraged to contribute to it.

The heart of this generator is gitattributes_generator.js. It contains a function which accepts an object. The code is well documented. Please let me know if you aren't able to understand any portion. I will end this with an example usage...

var obj = { text: ['c', 'js', 'json',], binary:['jpeg'], lf:[ ], crlf: ['vproj', 'sln'] }; gitattributesGenerator(obj);
