spaces in filenames

[https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format]

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.
