How to ensure always LF not CRLF on Windows?
For instance, if you use the remote toolchain feature of CLion to sync a Windows IDE to a Linux workstation it will blindly create any new files with CRLF endings and push them to Linux without version control even knowing. The only solution seems to be changing the setting for every new file created within the IDE.
Is there an equivalent to Rm-Rf in Windows?
So yes, you can use the ‘rm’ command on windows. Just try decreasing the length of the path. i.e :: Rename all folders that lead to such a file to smallest possible names. Say one letter names. Go on renaming upwards in the folder hierarchy. By this u effectively reduce the path length. Now finally try deleting the file straight away.
When to set errorlevel to 0 in rm-rf?
First set ERRORLEVEL to 0 and then delete the path only if it exists, using different commands depending on whether or not it is a directory. IF EXIST does not set ERRORLEVEL to 0 if the path does not exist, so setting the ERRORLEVEL to 0 first is necessary to properly detect success in a way that mimics normal rm -rf usage.
When to use rm-rf in a directory?
There are three scenarios where rm -rf is commonly used where it is expected to return 0: The specified path does not exist. The specified path exists and is a directory. The specified path exists and is a file.
