# =============================================================================
#  Line endings — this is a Windows-only Delphi project, so every text file is
#  CRLF in the working tree (what you and the Delphi IDE actually edit).
#
#  Git normalizes its internal blob to LF; that normalization is exactly what
#  keeps `git diff` clean. Without this file a CRLF working tree diffed against
#  an LF blob shows EVERY line as changed (the .dproj "whole-file rewrite" noise).
#  Ref: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes  (see the `text` and `eol` attrs)
#
#  Bottom line: your files on disk are CRLF; the noise-free diff is the payoff.
# =============================================================================

# Default: auto-detect text, and check every text file out as CRLF.
* text=auto eol=crlf

# Delphi source & project files are always text — force CRLF explicitly.
*.pas       text eol=crlf
*.dpr       text eol=crlf
*.dpk       text eol=crlf
*.inc       text eol=crlf
*.dproj     text eol=crlf
*.groupproj text eol=crlf

# Docs / scripts that live in this repo — Windows tooling, keep CRLF.
*.md        text eol=crlf
*.txt       text eol=crlf
*.cmd       text eol=crlf
*.bat       text eol=crlf

# .dfm / .fmx can be saved as text OR binary form — let auto-detect decide,
# so a binary-form form file is never line-ending mangled.

# Known-binary types — never apply any end-of-line conversion.
