[R-sig-eco] Mac/Linux sharing files to Windows users on github: problems with new lines

[Robert Rankin]

Dear Mac or Linux users,
I am trying to share capture-recapture R source code and JAGS models on
Github.
I am writing the scripts in Emacs on a GNU/linux Ubuntu machine. When
Windows users download my scripts, they get a single line of code (no line
breaks) and the JAGS models fail. What is your best-practises for getting
*nix scripts to work and read properly on Windows through Github?

I am using the program unix2dos (in the ubuntu repositories) to convert the
*nix line-breaks to the Windows line-breaks, and this seems to work when I
download from Github and open on a Windows machine with notepad or
notepad++. However, other Windows users still can't get the JAGS models and
R source code to load properly.

Here is my github directory for windows:
https://github.com/faraway1nspace/PCRD_JAGS_demo/tree/master/WINDOWS

Can any Mac or Linux user share their workflow?
Thank you,
Robert
