1 year ago to fix this issue I have added the line “longpaths = true” in \digital_wra_data_standard.git\config file. It is now working fine.
\digital_wra_data_standard.git\config file

when cloning the repository using GitHub desktop (https://desktop.github.com/) the files wiht long name in docs/*.md are not written in the local folder structure (I'm using windows version). an error is rised telling that the file are not written as the file name is too long. afterward the repository can not syncronize as the file are missing.
