OSX Terminal Fix - perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
When running certain commands like ssh or git within Terminal on OSX you may get notices like the one below, which can be annoying.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
The fix is simple:
Adding the following lines to ~/.bash_profile on my your local machine, the warning should go away:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Hope this helps someone rid themselves of annoyances.
