warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in gradlew.bat
Raw
git crlf
In Unix systems the end of a line is represented with a line feed (LF). In windows a line is represented with a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) thus (CRLF). when you get code from git that was uploaded from a unix system they will only have an LF.
If you are a single developer working on a windows machine, and you don't care that git automatically replaces LFs to CRLFs, you can turn this warning off by typing the following in the git command line
git config core.autocrlf true
rm -f ./.git/index.lock
In your repository directory. The error message is rather explicit as to what causes it typically,
so if you have no other git processes running (which is the normal case), go ahead and delete that file
