Setup
- Which version of Git for Windows are you using? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
Git for Windows v2.10.2 32-bit
C:\>git --version --build-options
git version 2.10.2.windows.1
sizeof-long: 4
machine: x86
- Which version of Windows are you running? Vista, 7, 8, 10? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
Windows 8.1 64-bit
C:\>cmd /c ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
- What options did you set as part of the installation? Or did you choose the
defaults?
IIRC, mostly the defaults, but I selected to add git.exe (but not the commands themselves) to the PATH.
C:\>type "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\install-options.txt"
Path Option: Cmd
SSH Option: OpenSSH
CRLF Option: CRLFAlways
Bash Terminal Option: ConHost
Performance Tweaks FSCache: Enabled
Enable Symlinks: Disabled
- Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
to the issue you're seeing?
None I can think of
Details
- Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other
CMD
C:\example>perl -MGit -e "$f = q{directory with spaces}; mkdir $f; Git::command(q{init}, $f)"
- What did you expect to occur after running these commands?
Directory is created and repository is initialized.
- What actually happened instead?
usage: git init [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=<template-directory>] [--shared[=<permissions>]] [<directory>]
init directory with spaces: command returned error: 129
It seems the code never accounted for spaces in the first place, as the FIXME will attest.
- If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
URL to that repository to help us with testing?
