Repro steps

Build project by the following command:

ng build --prod --base-href /client1-app

The log given by the failure

n/a

Desired functionality

Application need to be deployed under http://example.com/client1-app. The base path for it should be /client1-app then.

However in index.html wrong base path is included:

$ grep base dist/election-barometer/index.html
  <base href="E:/Programs/Git/client1-app">

The git installation path (absolute path of installation dir) is included when --base-href starts with slash character.

Base href cannot be just client1-app (without slash at the beggining), because of routing. User can start application from: /client1-app/some/path/started Then, client1-app will point to example.com/some/path/client1-app Which is not intended, so slash at the beggining is required.

Mention any other details that might be useful

The following repository could be useful during investigation: https://github.com/athlan/election-barometer However, nothing special on it, was generated by ng cli.

Noticed this as well, but only happened when using bash. Seems to work as expected in PowerShell.
