Ok. This seems to be a particular problem with git bash. Any ideas on resolving this?

I'm seeing this as well after upgrading to CLI v 1.0, worked before on the beta releases.

Also using git bash

$ ng --version

@angular/cli: 1.0.0

@angular/common: 4.0.1

@angular/router: 4.0.1

Nevertheless I think this is a problem with git bash, not with angular cli since it works in cmd.

Nevertheless it worked on CLI beta with the same version of Git bash, so seems something changed on the CLI side.
Anyone know which files this is setup?
Did a quick search in source and base-href pops up all over the place.. Hard for a rookie to know where to look 😵

Dupe of https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/5606.

This is, unfortunately, very much a git bash problem. The string that reaches the CLI isn't /test/ but C:/Program Files/Git/test/.

Workarounds are:

• use two slashes so gitbash doesn't replace it: ng build --base-href //test/
• setup a npm script: "build-base-href": "ng build --base-href=/test/"

In my case the two slashes didn't worked but the second option works like a charm, thank you.
