Body:

Description Hi, I am trying to clone this repository on a Windows machine, but the process fails during the checkout phase. This is happening because one of the filenames contains a colon (:), which is a reserved character in the Windows file system.

Error Log

Receiving objects: 100% (2373/2373), 124.63 MiB | 11.18 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (925/925), done.
error: invalid path 'Non-DSA Notes/Backend Project Java Notes/Auth - 3: Implementing User Service.md'
fatal: unable to checkout working tree
Affected File Non-DSA Notes/Backend Project Java Notes/Auth - 3: Implementing User Service.md

Steps taken I attempted the standard workaround for Windows: git config core.protectNTFS false However, the checkout still fails because the file system cannot handle the specific character in the path.

Suggested Fix Could you please rename the file to remove the colon? Current: Auth - 3: Implementing User Service.md Proposed: Auth - 3 - Implementing User Service.md

Thanks!
