-## Caveats
-
-### Name conflicts with `shell: bash`
-
-Using `shell: bash` in Actions may shadow some of the paths added by MSVC.
-In particular, `link.exe` (Microsoft C linker) is prone to be shadowed by `/usr/bin/link` (GNU filesystem link tool).
-
-Unfortunately, this happens because GitHub Actions unconditionally *prepend* GNU paths when `shell: bash` is used,
-on top of any paths set by `msvc-dev-cmd`, every time at the start of each new step.
-Hence, there aren't many non-destructive options here.
-
-If you experience compilation errors where `link` complains about unreasonable command-line arguments,
-“extra operand *something-something*” – that's probably it.
-Recommended workaround is to remove `/usr/bin/link` if that interferes with your builds.
-If this is not acceptable, please file an issue, then we'll figure out something better.
