## Troubleshooting

### Windows: MSYS / Git Bash path mangling

In MSYS-based shells (Git Bash, MSYS2), arguments starting with `/` are silently rewritten to Windows paths. This breaks API path arguments:

```sh
# ✗ /v1/users/me becomes C:/Program Files/Git/v1/users/me
notion api GET /v1/users/me
```

**Fix:** disable MSYS path conversion:

```sh
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 notion api GET /v1/users/me
```

Or export it for the session: `export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1`

> This is a shell-level issue, not a bug in notion-cli. PowerShell and cmd.exe are not affected.
