I don't see the point of running the git restore command here, why are you restoring?

hey! it is a Windows limitation when there's a space in the file name it doesn't allow for the file to be checked out. the git restore was not going to do anything for me, i realised afterwards😅so figured i could inform you, so you could remove the space after Drum kit for us that use Windows. Im a beginner so idk if i explained it correcctly. This issue on Stack overflow is what I experienced too with the drum kit file! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65924101/cant-clone-the-repository-because-of-the-space-in-the-paths

ohhh you are right, just removed the trailing space from 'Drum kit' you can clone it now, Thanks for reporting the issue 🤗
