Git commit only accept slash?












0















I got this error: pathspec '..filename' did not match any file(s) known to git. when I tried to commit with file path include , but now it only accepts path with /.



I am running windows 10 with cygwin, previously it works fine, and not sure what exactly cause this problem, any idea?



Just to be clear:



It works!



git commit -m "something" .filename


It does not work:



git commit -m "something" ./filename

    There is a very long discussion about this at Cygwin Git with Windows paths which ended with some patches on 15/12/2018. Have you tried updating Cygwin recently?

    In addition, are your sure you have works and not work the correct way around (as it doesn't agree with what you said at the start of the question).
