> I used to develop on Linux, but eventually wanted something that "just works" so I switched back to Windows. Much less time spent tinkering and more time spent getting things done, and WSL saves me from having to learn Powershell (even if I only hear good things about it).

I must be the strange one here since WSL is a hardcore nope from me. Mainly because I've gave that setup a chance last year and then after two hours of work I've noticed Windows git or WSL changed all my carriage returns to CLRF and basically broke all scripts and pipelines.

I just finished off a program to show which files use CRLF and which use LF. It also shows results for TAB, NUL, BOM-8 and BOM-16:

You can use the -f switch to help with pipelines and -j for JSON output.
