Subject: Re: Git pathspecs difference in behavior between linux (wsl) and windows
Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 11:31:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKToE5DEL1ZFwUbvcC-M3y-3mSVsVgMXDig4G=jcKbc-nJ_GnQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAKToE5DgtW1Kuw4AE5+Am_=9gATN-S=xk1kYXMZUWvtdtNy_PQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have an additional question, does double-quotes be safely used in
both windows (that's ok) and linux shell  for pathspecs (git status --
"src/test.js") in case of spaces in the path?
