Overview
The purpose of a Git Attributes file is to control merge and diff strategies for different files based on a set of markers applied by Git. These Git Attributes files are read per-directory, in a cascading fashion, similar to Git Ignore files.
The most common use case is to ensure some files are treated as binary files (no diff generation) or to control line-ending normalization.
