Fails on Windows when the user folder name includes spaces
Author: the-overdrivenCreated Sep 23, 2025Updated Nov 4, 2025
My user folder is at C:\Users\John Doe.
Running gource throws an error:
fatal: ambiguous argument 'Doe\AppData\Local\Temp\\gource-a16780': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
gource: failed to generate log file
Try 'gource --help' for more information.and it creates an empty "John" file at C:\Users\John.
I'm on Windows 10.
