.gitattributes behavior

[zszabo14]

Hi Team,

I had an issue with .gitattributes. I did the following actions:

in .gitattributes I had the following line: *.yml zos-working-tree-encoding=ibm-1047 git-encoding=utf-8 which turned out to be wrong.

• I changed this line but the yaml file on the system remained IBM-1047
• Then I deleted the yaml file, committed and pushed. The file was deleted from the system.
• I created a new yaml file for testing and committed and pushed. The file created and it was in a correct encoding.
• I re-created the original yaml file on the same name and content. Committed and pushed and the file is created on the system, but with the old encoding IBM-1047.
  It looks like the file is not created as new, but it is the old one from git history.

When you say "system", you mean z/OS?
If so, zos-working-tree-encoding=ibm-1047 makes the z/OS version of it IBM-1047.

I changed this line but the yaml file on the system remained IBM-1047

What was it before, what did you change it to?

Yes, it is on the Unix Sub-system.

I changed from ibm-1047 to ISO8859-1

but the main point is that a deleted file was re-created on the same name and the encoding was still the original
