Wrong SHA1 of "greeting"

[rythos42]

I swear this has to be me, but I've following the tutorial three times on different machines and I get a different SHA1 value for "Hello, world!" than the tutorial.

Tutorial says it should be

$ git hash-object greeting
af5626b4a114abcb82d63db7c8082c3c4756e51b

I'm getting

C:\Users\Craig\Desktop\Git-Bottom-up\repo>git hash-object greeting
5dd01c177f5d7d1be5346a5bc18a569a7410c2ef

Also weird, when I type "Hello, world!" into this SHA1 generator: https://passwordsgenerator.net/sha1-hash-generator/, it gives "943A702D06F34599AEE1F8DA8EF9F7296031D699" which is different from both our values! I didn't look into why this is.

We're on Windows 10, using git version 2.18.0.windows.1.

Thanks!

Do you have a CRLF at the end of the file? Try with just LF.

Thank you!

It turns out that it doesn't matter whether it's CRLF or LF -- just that there is a new line at the end, As a Windows user, I didn't know that that echo command would add a new line!
