If you run Windows 10 Home Edition you could change you Registry to enable Long Paths.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem in regedit and then set LongPathsEnabled to 1.
If you have Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise you could also use Local Group Policies.
Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem in gpedit.msc, open Enable Win32 long paths and set it to Enabled.
git config --system core.longpaths true
Hi,
I am trying to clone the repository from Bitbucket to the VS Code using Git cloning and I am getting failures (Red) on few folders particularly on Portal Folders. Thought it might be because of Long Paths so I have tried above suggestion but still it didn't work and I am using Windows 11 Pro. Could you able to suggest any resolutions for this issue? Thanks
the git client you're using must also turn long filenames on. try this:
git config --global core.longpaths true
Thank you so much for your quick response @naikrovek . I tried running that command yesterday but still no luck. I have tried running using Git CMD and also Git Bash. Can you able to provide some instruction steps how to turn long file names I will try just in case...Many thanks in advance.
Google can help with that: https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/
@naikrovek , Thank you again...I am very new to all these so I am still learning. I will go through the link that you have provided and see if I can able to resolve my problem.
thank you so much mr. leo
Tested same on Windows 11 Pro 22H2 and it works. Thanks.
