I was trying to clone a Git repository using IntelliJ. The steps I performed were: VCS -> Get from Version Control -> I filled in the repository URL and chose the Directory to store the codes -> Clone.

The process stopped and when I navigated to the target directory I can't see any of codes, the directory is still empty.

This is the error message I have obtained:

If the picture is not clear here is the message on it:

"Cannot Run Git
error launching git: The filename or extension is too long."

    Try to execute `git config --system core.longpaths true`. It should help. – s0xzwasd Jan 18 '21 at 07:32

  • @s0xzwasd I have tried running this command but the error persists.I suspect the problem has to do with the integration with the IntelliJ. – rob_francois Jan 19 '21 at 02:18
  • I ran those commands and the error still existed. However, what I did was to go to Settings and re entered the path to my git installation and the error shown in the picture above did not appear. – rob_francois Jan 20 '21 at 07:21
