How git deals with folder names with spaces

Question

I have a folder by the name 31 Files of - oop. When I try running this command:

git rm -rf 31 Files of - oop

I get this fatal error :

fatal: pathspec '31' did not match any files

How do I need to prepare the folder names with spaces for use in git?.

Try with `31\ Files\ of\ -\ oop`. – Adri C.S. Dec 27 '12 at 10:42 — Adri C.S., Dec 27 '12 at 10:42

Try in this way :

git rm -rf "31 Files of - oop" Where 31 Files of - oop is your file name.
