## What it is
A collection of ready-to-use .gitattributes templates for Git repositories, analogous to GitHub's gitignore templates. It includes a common template plus per-language rules and a check script for CI validation.

## Use cases
- normalize line endings across a git repository
- set up .gitattributes for a new project
- make GitHub language stats ignore generated files
- enforce gitattributes coverage in CI
- find templates for handling binary files in git

## When to choose
- you want curated, community-maintained .gitattributes rules instead of writing your own
- you need a CI check that every tracked file has a matching attribute rule

## When to avoid
- you need a tool that generates .gitattributes automatically rather than copy-paste templates
- your project has no need for line-ending or diff normalization rules

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: version-control, developer-tools, configuration-management
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: gitattributes, git-templates, line-endings, linguist
