GitKraken file encoding

Question

I use Visual Studio to develop my code. My files are encoded in UTF-8 with BOM.
As VS doesn't allow to stage hunk a files, I use GitKraken to do so.
But when I stage a hunk a file with GitKraken, the encoding of the file change from UTF-8 with BOM to Western European (Windows).
How to avoid GitKraken to change my file encoding?

Would love to know as well. About to rule out GitKraken company wide due to this perplexing behavior – Tibbetts

This is still going on. Support said it was a known issue back in April 2020. Not fixed as of v7.3.2 – Quickwitted

Answer 1

Try to change the value in Setting -> Repo-Specific Preferences -> Encoding -> Default encoding for each repository to UTF-8 BOM. It helped me at least with the auto-solving of merge conflicts

I am glad GitKraken finally allows to set the file encoding. – Newman
