Before I finalize my projects, I run them through a very easy to use tool called dos2unix: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/dos2unix1.html Then I set up an alias called dos that has the command 'dos2unix -p -v *.*' to run it on all the files in a folder and keep the same filename. I realize this post is a week old and there are many solutions, thought I'd share mine. Like the site a lot, keep it up!
