Still getting UnicodeEncodeError about git-fame HOT 7 CLOSED

Also tried different hosts (PowerShell, Git Bash), but no luck.

After digging a bit further and replaying the git commands you're using: I realized the output of these commands does \r\n for line endings on my machine. I have little knowledge of Python, but I've seen regex engines not matching \r\n correctly with $ - might that be the case here?

have you tried exporting PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8? I'm quite sure your issue is a unicode character in an author's name

from git-fame.

Thanks for the quick response.

set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

This fixes the error, but breaks the progress bar of tqdm in a bad way (every step in a new line). Additionally:

chcp 65001

Somewhat fixes the progress bar, but it does show the unicode replacement char from time to time. I can live with that :).

IMO this should be added to the docs somewhere?

from git-fame.

Btw. you are correct, even filtering by a single file still lists all the authors of the repo, and one had a German Umlaut in their name. The char also is broken by default but fixed by chcp 65001 also.

ah, sorry, wasn't reading carefully. You're using Windows, which is, yes, broken. chcp 65001 is a semi-fix, perhaps should mention it in the documentation...

Thanks for the fix!
