docs: passwords and PATs can need quoting on the command line

Open jacalata opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

If a password or PAT has certain special tokens, they will be interpreted by the command line and not correctly sent to the server.

e.g: the character ^ is an escape character when read by windows cmd. To use this, you must escape it by enclosing in double quotes or with itself. e.g the username tom^harry can be used like this

  1. --username "tom^harry"
  2. --username tom^^harry

other values to check: + ;/....
