The issue is Git converted line endings to Windows format, and now you have extra carriage returns (^M).

1. Configure Git not to convert line endings on checkout by running  
`git config --global core.autocrlf input`
2. Delete your local repository.
3. Clone it again.

For more info on how Git deals with line endings, see [Formatting and Whitespace](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_formatting_and_whitespace)
