Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Finally managed to get a npm package that gets all green chips on @socket.dev 🥳 The hardest part was to get the weekly downloads to 50k-60k, so it wouldn't be flagged as unpopular. The rest was pretty easy since the package has zero dependencies. 152

Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 24/02/2026And the only reason I know about this release is because I've started to maintain a TOML parser in 2025.

Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I think in your case, the simplest solution to make the warning disappear is to turn off core.autocrlf with: git config --global core.autocrlf false A good read on the topic: blog.popekim.com/en/2025/08/2...blog.popekim.comGit, Still Using autocrlf in 2025?

Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I'm sure the impact is negligible unless you have an enormous amout of files. Still annoying thought, for sure. And by all means, if you were going to look up what this is about, don't let my previous comment stop you... 110
Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 06/11/2025You don't really have to worry about that warning unless the software you use for sprite data is picky about line endings. The vast majority of modern softwares on Windows can handle both LF and CRLF without a problem. 110
Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 05/11/2025No worries, I've been thinking of raising an issue about this in the GitHub Desktop repo for some times now and seing your post has revived my motivation to do so. 010
Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Unfortunately, GitHub Desktop is not really helpful in that situation. I'm assuming that you are getting the error: "fatal: LF would be replaced by CRLF in...". The easiest solution to this is to open a terminal window and run the following command: git config core.autocrlf false 110

Martin Leduc @decimalturn.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Looks like they even removed the weekly download count. Could that be to make it difficult for hackers to know which project to target next? 110
