git commit get fatal error "fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF in"

I had the same problem and tried the suggested solution with no success.

I had to execute a second command to make it work:

$ git config --global core.autocrlf false
$ git config --global core.safecrlf false

This is a classic issue:

The usual fix is to convert those files yourself, with dos2unix or Swiss File Knife.

I have always preferred to keep core.autocrlf to false, which means:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

$ git config core.autocrlf false
