  1. Try git clone
  2. If that fails, redownload and use different zipping software
  3. Check antivirus

I tried git clone too. It fails with fatal error.

A few things to try 🔢

sharpk1 commented 3 years ago

A few things to try 🔢

  • git config --system core.longpaths true
  • fork and rename the repo (without the dashes)
  • git checkout -f HEAD

What do you mean by fork and rename the repo?

I tried git config --system core.longpaths true and then git clone https://github.com/jmportilla/Python-for-Algorithms--Data-Structures--and-Interviews.git with and without dashes -- still does not work.

none worked for me

sudoneoox commented 3 years ago

nevermind I got it to work I just did it in the cmd with admin privileges and had to cd into the folder then used git checkout -f HEAD and that seemed to work for some reason the VS Code terminal was giving me issues

@sharpk1 have you tried also following @sudoneoox method?
