To verify the current core.autocrlf setting, which command would you run?

• A. git config --get core.autocrlf
• B. git config core.autocrlf
• C. git config --global core.autocrlf
• D. git config --list

Answer: (A)

Verifying this setting means reading Git’s configuration for that specific key. The command that fetches a single value is git config --get core.autocrlf. It prints whatever value is currently defined in the local repository’s configuration. If you need to check the global (user) level value, you’d use git config --global --get core.autocrlf. If nothing is printed, that level doesn’t have the value set, and Git will fall back to other levels or defaults. You can also glance at all settings with git config --list to see how values stack up. Remember, core.autocrlf controls how Git handles line endings during checkout and commit. True means convert CRLF to LF on commit and LF to CRLF on checkout; input means convert CRLF to LF on commit only; false disables conversion.
