To Reproduce

Windows 10
node (12.14.1)
npm (6.13.4)
yarn (1.21.1)

1. clone documentation repo locally
2. make edits in visual studio code
3. run command: cmd /C "set GIT_USER=[myuser] && set CURRENT_BRANCH=master && npm run publish-gh-pages"
4. fails :(

Note -- also fails in the same way when using yarn run publish-gh-pages

Expected behavior

My 1st time trying to push changes to our docusaurus site. I expected it to work without any errors.

Actual Behavior

npm run publish-gh-pages failed

same issue with identical environment

Temporary solution!!
file website/node_modules/docusaurus/lib/publish-gh-pages.js
line 20: const GIT_USER = process.env.GIT_USER.trim();

just trim git user

This is what I have been using in azure and works just fine

git config --global user.email "$(GH_USER)@users.noreply.github.com"
git config --global user.name "$(GH_USER)"
GIT_USER=$(GH_USER) npm run publish-gh-pages

Running it directly from my machine (windows 10) also worked without errors.

I hope it helps :)

The problem is caused by a whiteline that is appended to the GIT_USER env variable on windows 10 when you run the cmd /C "set GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME> && yarn deploy" command. It can be fixed by running cmd /C "set GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME>&& yarn deploy" instead (note the missing space between <GITHUB_USERNAME> and &&).

It's quite unfortunate that the command is included in the official docs so probably a lot of windows users will encounter this problem.

Could you help to submit a PR for Windows? That would be much appreciated!
