The URL I included is just one example.\n\nOk. fine. there might not be even one more example, but:\n\nthe entire tutorial uses namespaces that do not include spaces.\nand since the real world doesn't ever seem to work that way, I feel you \nreally should include instructions on how to deal with it.\n\nI don't know if this will work/\n\"or if I should use quotes\"/\n{or some other arcane method/} :EOF\n\nto delineate that my text has spaces and I can't remove them because \nusers are fundamentally tied to written language syntax.\n\nand your documentation, on your own procedure, doesn't help.\n\nworse than this is that I was sent to your tutorial for help, but from \ndifferent software that decided to use your process.  Now, I know you \ncan't fix them (actually, we both could; it's jellyfin and they are open \nsource, but one step at a time). But, please, can you provide a little \nmore clarity about how Git works? I mean, I use git and I have the \nquestion now, I just learned about it because jellyfin is being lazy.\n\n-m\n\n\n"}]}
