bit sync buggy behaviour with non-English locale

[veksha]

expected response: nothing to save or commit
actual response: Please provide a description of your changes...

LANG=en_EN.UTF-8 bit sync -> OK
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 bit sync -> not OK

therefore, bit sync -> not OK for me.

Thanks for filing this. Error is due to this line probably https://github.com/chriswalz/bit/blob/master/cmd/util.go#L94.

Perhaps its time to start leveraging go-git more https://github.com/go-git/go-git

[veksha]

cmd := exec.Command("git", "status")
cmd.Env = append(os.Environ(), "LANG=C")
msg, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()

i have zero skill in golang, but something like above code can be enough.
what do you think, @chriswalz

[chriswalz]

@veksha Yes I like the idea. I think that would work. Any ideas as to why LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 git status is still printing in english on my end? I'm trying to replicate the issue

@chriswalz i guess you have to generate this locale.
example for ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
