In general, the CRLF - LF ("line endings") conversion is defined by
different settings.
The .gitattributes file (which is typically added to the repo and commited,
so that it travels trough into all repos by using `git clone`, `git pull`
or `git fetch` followed by a `git checkout`
This link

If I say "should" then this is from a perspective of someone who has read and used this
too often to see with fresh eyes what may be missing.
