check-eol

A command line utility to check what line endings are being used in files. Useful for enforcing consisten line endings across an entire project (such as an open source project with both windows and non-windows contributors).

Installation

npm

npm install check-eol -g

Usage

check-eol inspects the line endings of every matching file and return a nonzero error code if any file has incorrect line endings, as well as printing out the paths of the non-compliant files.

You can specify as many file paths or globs as you wish. They will all be merged into a single unified file list before processing.

Examples

verify all files have LF endings

npx check-eol --eol lf "**/*"

verify all .txt files have CRLF endings

npx check-eol --eol crlf "**/*.txt"

verify all html and css files have the platform-specific line endings

npx check-eol --eol platform "**/*.html" "**/*.css"
