md5sum issues
Thank you Ivan and Duncan for your help. I understand your point Duncan, but the thing is that I do have an issue here. Is it then due to RStudio or even Windows? If it is, I can forget about a solution on that end, so I would focus on what I can do, and this Git setting seems to be the best place to start. Or am I missing something (I am still a newbie on these things...)?

This happens to all text-based files (Rmd, MD, CSV...) but not to non-editable files (PDF, XLSX...).
This is probably caused by Git helpfully converting text files from LF (0x10) line endings to CR LF (0x13 0x10) when checking out the repository clone on Windows (and back when checking in). This configuration option is described in Pro Git: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_core_autocrlf
I agree with Ivan K, but don't agree with the advice in that book. It's best to just leave files alone, not to convert between LF and CR-LF.? I don't think this confuses many Windows editors these days, but if your editor forces files into CR-LF form, you should fix the editor, not try to work around it. In my opinion everyone should run ?git config --global core.autocrlf false Some more arguments for this (in the context of Github Actions) are here: https://github.community/t/git-config-core-autocrlf-should-default-to-false/16140 Duncan Murdoch
