Code: Select all

git difftool -- myproject-client/app/view/analytics/ReportMain.jsCode: Select all
$ git difftool -- myproject-client/metadata/view/analytics.ReportMainControllerCode: Select all
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in myproject-client/metadata/view/analytics.ReportMainController.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
