consider setting core.autocrlf=true on your git config

Hi Littlechay,

i assume you are using a windows machine to develop your script, because it uses windows crlf line endings.

You may consider following this github instructions to configure your repository to automatically convert line endings to lf on commit. It would make it much easier to use your script on linux and macos computers.

git config --global core.autocrlf true
git add --renormalize .
git commit -m "Normalize all the line endings"
git push
