[SOLVED] What EOL character does Android use?

Issue

I was wanting to know what EOL character Android uses. This is because I want to know what to update the git --global core.autocrlf value to? I am using git in Termux.

Solution

Android is effectively Linux under the hood, and Linux is a type of Unix, so Android uses a single LF as the end of line character.

Note that even on Windows, you can full well use LF in almost all cases, since most languages and text editors handle a single LF just fine. In fact, it's usually much better to configure your .gitattributes file appropriate with text and eol attributes, and then not set core.autocrlf at all, since that results in much more predictable behaviour altogether.
