In my setup, I already had a `.gitattributes` global file. So I just had to add the following:

Before:

```plaintext
*.md diff=markdown
*.py diff=python

```

After:

```plaintext
* text=auto

*.json	text eol=lf
*.md text diff=markdown eol=lf
*.py text diff=python eol=lf

```

I had already set `autocrlf` to `true` on my `.gitconfig` global settings. But @Craig.Lovold's suggestion is what solved this issue.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
