I was trying to commit my files but sadly unsuccesfuly so. The strange think is when i try to commit through VS CLI it works fine. I only get this problem when I try to commit through VS Code GitCommit GUI.

Answer 1

In my case the reason was that the package.json was saved in non UTF!

Resaving the file in UTF resolved the issue.
