Describe the bug

I am new to LazyVim and Lua, While setting up the Lazzy Vim on my WSL I got the exception. It seems this issue is related to Lua, but I am not sure.

Could anyone help me to resolve this problem?

1. mv ~/.config/nvim{,.bak}

6. rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
7. nvim

Expected Behavior

This seems to be similar to folke/lazy.nvim#1025. It's not a LazyVim bug. Try to set in your git config autocrlf = false.

@dpetka2001. Even I tried LazyVim installation after change some git configs to git config --global core.autocrlf true. I got the same problem.

[dpetka2001]

autocrlf should be set to false not true. This is not a LazyVim bug. This is a problem with Neovim itself. Just don't set this git global to true. Or set it to false temporarily to download and install LazyVim and then set it back to true again. But whenever you want to install or update plugins it should be set to false. The issue that I linked has detailed information about this problem.

PS: Set autocrlf to false, delete ~/.local/share/nvim and restart Neovim to install everything from scratch.
