I have a git repository whose files' line endings should be CRLF or LR on the checkedout depending on the specific file. For instance, I want that all *.sh files to be checked out with LR line endings while all *.bat files with CRLF.
I've been trying to pull this off with no results, next is my .gitattributes file:
* text=auto
#
# Declare files that will always have CRLF line endings on checkout.
#
*.sh text eol=LF
#
# Declare files that will always have LF line endings on checkout.
#
*.bat text eol=CRLF
#
# Denote all files that are truly binary and should not be modified.
#
*.zip binary
*.tar binary
*.exe binary
*.dll binary
*/dropbear binary
*update-binary binary
When I open a .sh file or a .bat file both line endings are CRLF. What am I doing wrong?
Note: I develop on a Windows computer.

Also, GitHub's documentation states the following:
Optionally, you can configure the way Git manages line endings on a per-repository basis by configuring a special .gitattributes file. This file is committed into the repository and overrides an individual's core.autocrlf setting, ensuring consistent behavior for all users, regardless of their Git settings.
EDIT 2:
If I set core.autocrlf to false and comment all the lines of .gitattributes then both .sh and .bat files are opened with LF line endings.
The eol attribute value, like most of Git, is case sensitive. You want:
*.sh eol=lf
*.bat eol=crlf
