fix(windows): skip id -u on Windows to avoid confusing startup error - #1824
Merged
Conversation
On Windows, `id -u` does not exist. Instead of spawning and catching the error (which prints a confusing warning), skip the call entirely and keep the default GITLAB_USER_ID value. Closes firecow#1684 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
