I'll leave the issues of developing Windows applications under Linux
and configuring git appropriately for someone who understands those
issues better than I do.

As for line endings, there are three cases:
1. The file contains only CR-LF (DOS) line endings.
2. The file contains only LF (Unix) line endings.
3. The file contains both LF and CR-LF line endings.

In case #1, Vim will set the 'fileformat' to "dos" and not show any
^M characters. There is nothing you need to do.

In case #2, Vim will set the 'fileformat' to "unix" and of course
not show any ^M characters as there are none. The simplest way to
change the line endings to CR-LF is to execute the following.

:set ff=dos
:w

In case #3, Vim will set the 'fileformat' to "unix" and display a
^M character at the end of every line that has a CR-LF line ending.
The simplest way to change all the line endings to CR-LF is the
following.

:%s/\r$//
:set ff=dos
:w

HTH,
Gary
