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. -m
