gitSafeReplacementChar: '-' does interesting things

[JBruns15]

When i have a Ticket named:

Please fix - nasty bug

And i replace every Space with -

It would look like:
please-fix---nasty-bug

What can i do about that?

Sorry when it is not an Issue.

Thanks

Hi @JBruns15

As I understand you have configured gitSafeReplacementChar: '-' for this repository?
That will indeed create a branch named Please-fix---nasty-bug for an issue titled Please fix - nasty bug.
Is this not what you expected?
Please let me know what you expected, because what you describe is the intended behaviour.

Kind regards, Rob

Hi @robvanderleek ,

i undertand it now. Thanks.
But is there a possibilite to use the gitSafeReplacementChar and avoid triple - ?

Thanks a lot :)

I don't think so 🤔
gitSafeReplacementChar replaces all characters that are not allowed in Git branch names, so <space>-<space> becomes --- (or _-_ with the default setting).
I would not know a way that prevents this behaviour, unless it's a very specialized feature to replace --- with - but that looks like a feature only a very limited number of users would use.
