Hi! So this isn't a huge error, it has to do with the way different computers handle the "Enter" key (new lines) in files. Its a pretty easy thing to fix so that you don't get these error messages:

Quick Fix:

• Open your command line in your Unity project folder.
• Type git config core.autocrlf true and hit Enter. This tells Git to automatically handle these "Enter" key differences for you.

Consistent Fix for Everyone:

• Create a file in your project named .gitattributes.
• Put the following lines in it:

* text=auto
*.cs text eol=lf
*.unity text eol=lf
*.prefab text eol=lf

• This file ensures that everyone in your team will have the same settings and won't see this error.
• Make sure everyone in your team uses the .gitattributes file you created.

Now, when you commit and work with others, you should no longer see that error.
Hope this helps!

This quick fix doesn't work for me. I'm still getting these errors.
