How to handle Git-attached files on Linux with invalid Windows file names?

Question

I made several files with a name containing the characters ":" and "", which are not valid on Windows. When I try to execute git pull from a Windows computer, it gives me an error message.

Is there a way to rename these files in a repo from a windows machine? Or is there any other workaround?

Answer 1

If you have access to a Linux machine, you can rename it, make the appropriate changes to the code and click on the repository (with the corresponding comment)

Answer 2

You can try “sparse control” so that you do not check these files on Windows.

Of course, this only works for you if you should not have these files in Windows.
