Can't commit due to encoding error.

Deleted user Dec 08, 2020

I've tried to do the welcome task to learn how to commit files.

It turns out I'm unable to do that. After clicking Commit a message pops up:

Failed to detect original file encoding. Cannot save commit with unknown encoding

 

No matter what text I paste I always get the same message.

I had the same error and it appears that the encoding issue was in the filename field. This happened when I copy/pasted from the example which likely bought over non UTF-8 characters. Try clearing and then typing in the filename manually.

This worked. I changed the name of the file and then it fixed.

I solved it by editing the file locally and then pushed the code to the remote repository.
Now whenever you make any new change to the same file on the remote server you won't receive this error.

I'm not sure how it is supposed to help me. They talk about a bug that is not yet fixed.
