This setting is pretty important for my project's sanity.\r\n\r\nAs I've been using methods from GitPython that make uses of paths, I've been getting the following errors:\r\n![mypy raising an error for git.types.PathLike](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/61093863/180901876-4f47a5a3-697d-4338-8008-77e075d13266.png)\r\nAs you can notice, what raises this error is `PathLike[Unknown]`, defined in `git.types.PathLike`. ([Source file \u0026 lines](https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/main/git/types.py#L47-L51))\r\n\r\nAfter further investigation, I've found out that this is because `os.PathLike` is considered as a generic class (Like `typing.List`, `typing.Dict` and so on)\r\n![Image showing PathLike being a generic class](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/61093863/180902236-75621c2a-fdb5-4bd8-b603-6fb0adef0399.png)\r\n\r\nThe fix is fairly simple, as it is to simply allow `str` for `PathLike`, which gives this result: `os.PathLike[str]`\r\n\r\n![PathLike with the implemented fix](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/61093863/180902659-51b11455-6150-4596-b866-d36b3ac6a767.png)\r\n![Actual code without any errors](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/61093863/180902715-5d1fb7af-214a-45eb-96e3-6e442ce13f19.png)\r\n(awesome! This issue's no longer a thing with this fix!)\r\n\r\nThere has some discussion about the same situation on this StackOverflow page: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69680089/13720113\r\n\r\nI can make a PR for fixing this (Of course, with some testing, since there is Python version checks), as long as this issue is approved.\r\n\r\nThank you, hoping this issue get sorted soon!
