There’s some sort of escaping issue on the [github checks page](https://github.com/broadinstitute/gatk/pull/5546/checks?check_run_id=52040142). The \_ (underscore), [] (brackets), and possibly other characters are shown with an extra \ (backslash) next to them. This is an ugly display issue but it also makes it hard to copy and paste the correct environment variable names. See this screenshot for an example: ![01%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/travis_ci/original/2X/a/af3a60975f4844d9a41e7cf56eee909d36aae0c6.png) ---

Another example of how bad it is [https://github.com/ansible/molecule/pull/2202/checks?check\_run\_id=185302870](https://github.com/ansible/molecule/pull/2202/checks?check_run_id=185302870) Based on last two years, I think that we are all better of migrating our projects to other alternatives. I guess I am going to give Azure devops a chance as it has good terms for opensource and more important: it is actively maintained. ---
