Hi guys,  
  
we need to change the autocrlf option for git for the user of our Continua CI service. The default for Git 2.6.1 seems to be autocrlf = true but that messes up the checkout for our repository and therefore the Mercurial copy of our repository is messed up as well. Where do I place the git configuration file?  
  
Regards

The user configuration file is located at %USERPROFILE%.gitconfig &nbsp;e.g. C:\Users\username.gitconfig  
  
You can also use the command:&nbsp;

`git config --global core.autocrlf false`

  
to set the configuration for the logged in user.  

  
Or&nbsp;  
  

`git config --system core.autocrlf false`

  
to set the flag system wide.
