'git status' shows the repo is dirty in MSYS2 shell, but clean in CMD shell?

It's line ending of the file and that depends on the git config.

Please search the internet before asking questions.

Oops! I forgot I did change the core.autocrlf config of C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe before. And the cause of this issue is indeed due to the core.autocrlf values are different:

• CMD version of Git: true
• MSYS version of Git: false

C:\Test\msys2.github.io>git config core.autocrlf
true

C:\Test\msys2.github.io>

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$ git config core.autocrlf

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$

Therefore, after changing the core.autocrlf value of Git in MSYS shell to true as well, the problem is sovled.

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$ git config core.autocrlf

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$ git config --global core.autocrlf true

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$ git config core.autocrlf
true

hwhsu1231@vb-windows MINGW64 /c/Test/msys2.github.io
$ git status
