Hi, Sorry for incomplete post earlier. Here is the full post: In the latest version of git a new attribute has been added, working-tree-encoding. The release notes states: 'The new "working-tree-encoding" attribute can ask Git to convert the contents to the specified encoding when checking out to the working tree (and the other way around when checking in).' We have been using this attribute on our z/OS systems using a version of git from Rocket software to convert files to EBCDIC for quite a while now. On other platforms (Linux, AIX etc) git ignored this attribute and therefore left the files in ASCII. We have common code that is supposed to be usable across different platforms and hence different file encodings. With the full support of the working-tree-encoding in the latest version of git on all platforms, how do we have files converted to different encodings on different platforms? I could not find anything that would allow us to say 'if platform = z/OS then encoding=EBCDIC else encoding=ASCII'. Is there a way this can be done?
