Pull/clone fails on Windows because of invalid characters

[jonathannoah]

The file code_snippets/Interlude:_Common_tasks.py causes checkout to fail on Windows due to the presence of a colon in the filename.

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

Descending into the directory and running git restore --source=HEAD :/ restores the files except "Interlude:_Common_tasks.py". Running git config core.protectNTFS false followed by git checkout also checks out all the files, however "Interlude:_Common_tasks.py" is replaced with a 0-byte file called "Interlude".

I didn't know that. Thanks for the issue. I've renamed the file now, please let me know if this resolves the issue.

Yep, works perfectly! Thank you!
