Git Bash - string parameter with '/' at start is being expanded to a file path. How to stop this?












0















Earlier today, I was trying to generate a certificate with a DNSName entry in the SubjectAltName extension:



$ openssl req -new -subj "/C=GB/CN=foo" -addext "subjectAltName = DNS:foo.co.uk" -addext "certificatePolicies = 1.2.3.4" -key ./private-key.pem -out ~/req.pem



This command led to the following error message:



name is expected to be in the format /type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=... where characters may be escaped by . This name is not in that format: 'C:/Program Files/Git/C=GB/CN=foo'
problems making Certificate Request



How can I stop Git Bash from treating this string parameter as a filepath, or at least stop it from making this alteration?






git-bash
