title: How to change console code to 1252?
body: <p>I am trying to use PostgreSQL on Windows 8 using the command line provided by Git Bash so I can run Unix like commands. When accessing Postgres with the following command: <code>psql -U postgres</code> I get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: Console code page (850) differs from Windows code page (1252)
    etc...</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>in the Windows command tool, I just need to type <code>chcp 1252</code> before accessing Postgres so the warning doesn't show up. What's the equivalent command in unix/git bash?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to do <code>chcp 1252</code> or <code>chcp</code> from Git bash but it outputs: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sh.exe": chcp: command not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
