.editorconfig added to repository

[KindDragon]

This simplify working on several projects

editorconfig/editorconfig-visualstudio#7 added support for insert_final_newline setting.

Could you please tweak the file in order to account for this as well?

[KindDragon]

insert_final_newline for all files or only for *.cs?

[nulltoken]

I'd say all text files: cs, txt, md, cmd, sh, ps1 (I may have have forgotten some...)

I'm not sure about .sln and .csproj though. I've always been under the impression that VS kept fighting with me on this topic by normalizing the files....

Indeed it will.

I'll add it. I always remove final line from text files :-)

There's also a famous rant from Linus on this topic, but my google-fu seems lacky today (@carlosmn?)

I don't recall a rant from Linus (though I expect it must exist). There was that one time when Junio quoted POSIX at me. Turns out that if you don't have a final newline, your file is not actually a text file.

@dahlbyk @Therzok Thoughts?

[dahlbyk]

Nothing to add

[Therzok]

Other than the fact that MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio don't care about it, it's good to go.

@KindDragon 🆒 🍌

@Therzok If something similar can be done through configuration for MonoDevelop, could you please wrap it into a PR?

[Therzok]

@nulltoken I think this is done through .sln.DotSettings but don't take my word on it just yet.

[nulltoken]

@Therzok Huh? I thought .DotSettings was a ReSharper only config file (cf. https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/Main.sln.DotSettings)

[Therzok]

global settings in Main.sln (GlobalSection(MonoDevelopProperties)) handles this.

Sorry, it's one of those days where I'm being a complete retard due to lack of sleep.

@Therzok Got it. Thanks 💟
