#file encodings

[la-principessa-nuova]

I spent so long today trying to figure out why .gitignore wasn’t working.

I spent *hours* going through so many StackOverflow questions and reddit posts where brand new developers are trying to use a .gitignore for the first time and getting the syntax wrong or putting it in the wrong directory or naming the file wrong or they already tracked the files. All common mistakes I made when I was new to this, but not what was wrong for me.

I’m suddenly reminded what it was like back then everytime I had a problem googling every little issue and thinking some obscure issue was happening or there was a bug in git or something, and then I’d find the small error I’d made. But now I understand it so well I’m stumped what could be wrong.

Flashback to when I was trying to decide which OS to use when writing it and decided it was simple enough that Windows would be fine. Plus I want this to be cross platform and so it’ll be good to be forced to deal with Windows compatibility up front.

Then finally I found the issue: I created the .gitignore from Powershell and it defaults the encoding to UTF-16LE??? Why would they do that? Just to prank people trying to create files to be used literally anywhere???

Changed it to UTF-8 and it works.
