Notes for Developers

• when committing code in git, please ensure that git does not automatically deal with line endings for this repository
  • this will cause the hash that is generated by the ClickOnce deployment to not match the actual hash of the application and the application will not install
  • use this command to turn of automatic handling of line endings in your current repository
  • $git config core.autocrlf false
  • more info on line endings in git can be found here
