File and folder names with special%24%87%characters

Folder 1 - %24%7B%23Project%23baseUrl_ledger%7D

Folder 2 - https%3A%2F%2Fapi-qa.pitneybowes.com

Folder 3 - https%3A%2F%2Fvulcan-sam-qa.saas.pitneycloud.com

 

That's one project. This makes everyone nervous about merging code. Why does it happen? How can we manage it?

 

Thanks

  • I think this is normal for a composite project

    since you can not use special characters ( e.g., : / ) as a file or folder name, these special characters are encoded,

    for new API resources where you input 'http://your.api.com:3000', these resources is saved as a folder with an encoded name

     

    other way, you can name your project without special characters, but better accept it as it is, it's not harmful, you will get used to it :)
