Thank you for reporting this issue! To help us better understand and fix the problem, could you please provide:

1. Your operating system version
2. The output of python --version

Also, it seems like there might be some non-ASCII characters causing issues with the 'charmap' codec. If possible, could you check if you're using Windows and what your system's default encoding is? You can check this by running:

import sys
print(sys.getdefaultencoding())

@cyclotruc There is currently no support for Windows, right? Are there plans to add support, or should this issue be closed?

[cyclotruc]

Right Windows is not currently supported but this is planned.

I'm not sure I fully understood the issue but I'm willing to fix this encoding bug

[phamhung075]

I’ve created a lite version for Windows 11 while waiting for the next update:

GitIngest Lite

If you plan to use it for private enterprise projects, it also supports Windows 11.
fix all bugs on windows
