This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Unescape a path if it is quoted

Git commands that output paths (e.g. ls-files, diff), will escape unusual characters.

Examples:

lib.unescape_if_quoted('"quoted_file_\\342\\230\\240"') # => 'quoted_file_☠'
lib.unescape_if_quoted('unquoted_file')   # => 'unquoted_file'

Parameters:

  • path (String)

    the path to unescape if quoted

Returns:

  • (String)

    the unescaped path if quoted otherwise the original path
