so, there are probably a hundred or more pages where this question comes up. The URL I included is just one example.

Ok. fine. there might not be even one more example, but:

the entire tutorial uses namespaces that do not include spaces. and since the real world doesn't ever seem to work that way, I feel you really should include instructions on how to deal with it.

I don't know if this will work/ "or if I should use quotes"/ {or some other arcane method/} :EOF

to delineate that my text has spaces and I can't remove them because users are fundamentally tied to written language syntax.

and your documentation, on your own procedure, doesn't help.

worse than this is that I was sent to your tutorial for help, but from different software that decided to use your process. Now, I know you can't fix them (actually, we both could; it's jellyfin and they are open source, but one step at a time). But, please, can you provide a little more clarity about how Git works? I mean, I use git and I have the question now, I just learned about it because jellyfin is being lazy.
