Cross platform EOL LF/CRLF configuration

[graffhyrum]

I'm trying to migrate to biome in a few projects and my team uses windows and linux for development. We are trying to figure out how to make formatter.lineEnding align with the host OS. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a solution? Is there a best practice from the biome team for configuring this?

Biome doesn't have configuration to do this. Could you elaborate more on your use case? What's wrong with just picking one line ending?

[graffhyrum]

The issue is that biome doesn't seem to know/care about my gitattributes or core.autocrlf, so we have to either templatize and generate our biome conf per system to match the host, or forego using the formatter entirely (since as far as I know there's no way to disable just one formatter rule)

If you need to deal with line ending on multiple OS, and you use a VCS, you should rely on it mainly.

With git, here's how we do it in the Biome repository: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings#example
