Let's talk about solutions to Chinese problems on Git

Title:

As a popular distributed version control system, Git has become the tool of choice for many developers. However, in the process of using Git, there are some Chinese-related issues that will confuse some users. This article will introduce Chinese problems in Git and give solutions.

1. Git’s default encoding

In Git, the default encoding is UTF-8, which is currently the most commonly used Unicode encoding method. UTF-8 supports all Unicode characters, including not only common characters such as Chinese, English, and numbers, but also all symbols, emoticons, etc. Therefore, Git using UTF-8 encoding can generally handle Chinese characters perfectly.

2. Git client’s Chinese support problem on Windows

Although Git itself supports Chinese very well, on Windows, the Git client will encounter Chinese file names that display garbled characters. The problem. This is because the default encoding method used under Windows is ANSI, and ANSI encoding does not support Chinese characters. There are many ways to solve this problem. The following are two commonly used methods:

1. Set the character encoding of the Git client

Perform the following operations in Git Bash:

$ git config --global i18n.commitencoding utf-8
$ git config --global i18n.logoutputencoding utf-8
$ export LESSCHARSET=utf-8

This will set the Git client's character encoding to UTF-8, allowing it to display Chinese filenames correctly.

2. Set the character encoding of the Windows system

If you do not want to set the character encoding of the Git client, you can also solve the problem of garbled Chinese file names by setting the character encoding of the Windows system. question. The specific method is:

1) In File Explorer, open the "File" menu -> "Change File and Folder Options" -> "View" tab, in "Advanced Settings" , find "Use the same window to open all files" and uncheck it.

2) Right-click the Git Bash shortcut and select "Properties" -> "Compatibility" tab -> "Change high DPI settings" -> "Override high DPI scaling behavior" tab - > Just check "Applications".

3. Problems with Git submitting Chinese file names

Sometimes, you will encounter problems when using Git to submit Chinese file names. This is because in Git's default mode, it converts Chinese file names to ASCII encoding, so the Chinese file names may be truncated or processed incorrectly. The way to solve this problem is:

1. Set the file name encoding of Git

Perform the following operations in Git Bash:

$ git config --global core.quotepath false
$ git config --global gui.encoding utf-8
$ git config --global i18n.commitencoding utf-8

This will Git The filename encoding is set to UTF-8.

2. Using the Unicode mode of the Git client

The Git client has a Unicode mode that can be used to solve the problem of Chinese file names. Do the following in Git Bash:

$ git config --global core.unicode true

This will enable the Unicode mode of the Git client so that it can handle Chinese file names correctly.

To sum up, although Git is very mature in handling Chinese, there are still some issues that need to be paid attention to. If you encounter related problems, you may wish to try the above methods to solve them.
