I have an additional question, does double-quotes be safely used in
both windows (that's ok) and linux shell  for pathspecs (git status --
"src/test.js") in case of spaces in the path?

They can be used in both POSIX shell and Windows CMD and, I would
assume, also in the PowerShell. Note though, that there are subtle
differences when other special characters occur between double-quotes,
notably the backslash. Please use your favorite search engine to learn more.

And a dollar sign, in addition to the backslash?

Granted, there's not a subtle, but a big difference how the dollar sign
is treated ;) but I don't want to write a tutorial here. Hence, my hint
towards a search engine.
