Repository cannot be cloned on Windows #55

Closed LosCommodore closed 1 year ago

LosCommodore commented 1 year ago

Windows does not accept the following reserved characters: < : " / \ | ? on a path. The problem is this file:

'[Project]-Near-Earth-Objects/results_data/simulation/UNDETECTED_UTC2010-01-01T00:00:00_OppDist15.0_MagDetec22.0_StepSize24.0_HourObs43800.0.parquet'**

Therefore I get an error during cloning:

git clone --progress --verbose https://github.com/ThomasAlbin/Astroniz-YT-Tutorials.git Cloning into 'Astroniz-YT-Tutorials'...

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

Updating git to the newest version and trying out some git-settings (git config --global core.protectNTFS false) didn't help. So as a workaround I forket the repo and deleted the files on github before cloning.

proposed solution: abandon windows, buy a mac :) Can you rename the file(s) ?

Hey there!

Thanks for opening an issue. Unfortunately I cannot test it on a Windows machine. What "path-part" is causing this issue? The brackets? Can you suggest a path-change, for example via a Pull Request?

Best, Thomas

Alright, it was only all about the : character. I fixed in the pull request.

Thank you, this is a really interesting project! I am looking forward to the xmas holidays when I can really dive into it :)

For others who might be reading this and running Windows, you might want to consider windows subsystems for linux (WSL) as a way to install stuff and get around the Windows issues. VS Code works really nicely with WSL and can make it feel seamless.

Thanks a lot! I will merge the PR with my next upcoming video :)!

Indeed alexjj, that is also a very good hint. Thanks!

The file fix is integrated. I did not merge it with my branch that will be uploaded on Sunday, but merged it now already in the main.

Thanks again!
