Invalid zipped folder

[kani-01]

When I try to download the zipped folder from Github and Extract files -> It gives invalid file Error

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

I tried different things. It does not work for me. Were you able to download them?

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

Can you share the picture/ logs with the error?

This is what comes in git clone

This is what comes when download the zip and try to open it

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

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?
