user$ git checkout -b "environment-logging" Switched to a new branch ' environment-logging' user$ git status On branch environment-logging nothing to commit, working tree clean user$ git checkout develop Switched to branch 'develop' Your branch is up to date with 'origin/develop'. user$ git branch -D environment-logging error: branch 'environment-logging' not found.
Regular space: user$ git branch -D " environment-logging" error: branch ' environment-logging' not found.
Nonbreaking space: user$ git branch -D " environment-logging" Deleted branch environment-logging (was 267ffff).
Non breaking space inserted into my branch name. Above is copy pasted from terminal with only the user name and directory altered and extraneous commands removed. Note the space in the std out of the first command but not included in the command itself. Whereas in the last command I explicitly typed the nonbreaking space and it does appear as a visible space. I do not know how to reproduce.
Thanks,
Nick
