That should not be a problem, and if it is, it's a huge flaw in the software you are using, and you should file a bug. (Or if it's your software, fix it.)
Seriously, UNIX has supported spaces in filenames since the 70s.
- Lammy 6y agoIt’s not really possible to give a citation for the “feel” of something but I find it very satisfying to limit my frequently-referenced “trunk” path directories to single words.
- floren 6y agoYes, I also make it a policy that paths should not need any escaping to type.

- LeoPanthera 6y agoYou can "enclose paths in quotes" and then you don't need to escape the spaces.
- dredmorbius 6y agoWhich works fine until that context is quoted, or dequoted, in which case you're back to square one.
- tonsky 6y agoThis is where theory and practice part ways. If it was a single bug, I’d be happy to file it. I even tried to do so with Jekyll. I located one, found a library, it was already fixed, but not published. Monkey-patched, only to fight next but. And there was not end to it. I didn’t even started looking into pyenv or bazel, which all were also broken in multiple ways.
