Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/telling-git-about-your-signing-key?platform=linux

What changes are you suggesting?

In the link above, there is a section for the Linux platform claiming you should run the following command to add GPG_TTY to our .bashrc file.

[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && echo -e '\nexport GPG_TTY=\$(tty)' >> ~/.bashrc

This adds an extra backslash which is unnecessary and needs to be removed for it to work.

When running the script above, the result in the .bashrc file is as follows :

export GPG_TTY=\$(tty)

Additional information

I've tried reproducing it both on WSL2 and Git Bash and the results are the same.

@farzadso Thanks for opening an issue! We have an approved PR fixing something similar in the same article. Would this PR fix this issue as well?

[farzadso]

Yes. the approved PR you sent covers this issue to some extent, but it's missing a change.

I'll propose the missed change in the PR.
