Why does Git give a list of changed files on a freshly downloaded repository?

Question

git

I downloaded the repository, did a "git pull", but when executing "git status" for some reason it shows a large list of changed files. I did "git reset" - it did not help, when I run it again, "pull" writes that there were no changes, it does not download anything, but the list of changed files still remains. Tell me, what's the problem?

Answer 1

This can happen due to an incorrect line break character setting.
