Troubleshooting running echo command on Windows

[AntoineKM]

Hi, I am making this issue to guide people who encounter the same problem as me on Windows.

Be careful while following the README.md command:

echo "OPENAI_KEY=<your token>" >> ~/.aicommits

This one might not support UTF-8 depending on your Windows configuration.

I did some testing to understand what the result was:
Input

Output

And I quickly realized that the parse would not work.

Here are the only 3 solutions I have found to fix this problem:

1. Using replace(), but this solution doesn't seem ideal to me.

const configString = (await fs.readFile(configPath, 'utf8')).replace(/[^\u0020-\u007E]/g, '');

2. Using environment variables Support for Windows #43
3. Creating the file manually with vscode or notepad in UTF-8

Thanks for this issue! Maybe we should add the environment variable workaround as a footnote in the README for folks who run into issues on Windows.

I'll follow up with a quick config command. Better to set a secure example.
