I use Git on my Mac, but some repositories are on the Windows drive of my Mac. Mac creates system files in Windows for each of the files, for example default.html will wind up with another file in the same folder called .default.html. This is all a bit annoying in Git which picks up on these system files, even though I have no interest in then.
But you can exclude them. Edit your .gitignore file and add:
.*
!/.gitignore
I work across Mac and Windows, with Dreamweaver running on my Mac, and code that sometimes will be hosted on Windows Servers and sometimes not. So I often run into the problem of erratic line spacing. If I have code saved on my Mac HDD (as opposed to my Windows VM), push it up to a Windows Server, then pull it down again, I sometimes wind up with the code double spaced when I open the file again in Dreamweaver.
I finally tracked down a quick solution to clean up these pages, with grateful thanks to this page: Permanently Remove Double Space in Dreamweaver Code View.
Do a search and replace:
Make sure you have the Use Regular Expressions option checked.
Of course, it’s also good to make sure you have the Line Beak Type set correctly under Dreamweaver’s Preferences, but I’ve found that doesn’t really help when you are working cross-platform.
