Description

Please add an .editorconfig file that specifies this project's preferred basic settings:

  • Line termination (e.g. LF for all files other than UNIX shell scripts.
  • Indentation (e.g. 4 spaces).

I've been following UNIX style conventions:

https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/main/.editorconfig

Though, this project appears to use CRLF.

VSCode keeps forcing the line endings to LF, as my ~/.editorconfig does not have a project ./editorconfig to apply appropriate, per project settings to override it.
