Since adding a .gitattributes file to my team's repo January 11th this year, I've found myself toggling the -diff option a bit too frequently. Thus, I am changing our .gitattributes file to NOT use the -diff (binary) option.

All devs can still individually treat lockfiles as binary,
toggling this setting on/off as they please, like so:

1. Add this to your ~/.gitconfig file:

[core]
  attributesfile = ~/.gitattributes_global

2. Add this to a new ~/.gitattributes_global file:

# Better off adding .gitattributes to individual repos.
*.lock            text eol=lf -diff
package-lock.json text eol=lf -diff
pnpm-lock.yaml    text eol=lf -diff
yarn.lock         text eol=lf -diff
