❌ Problem
While cloning the repository on Windows, the checkout process fails with the following error:
error: invalid path 'content/participant /InvisiblePro.md'
fatal: unable to checkout working tree
Although the repository is cloned, Git cannot properly check out files, resulting in an incomplete working directory.
🔍 Root Cause
The issue appears to be caused by a trailing space in the directory name:
content/participant /InvisiblePro.md
↑ extra space
Windows does not support file or directory names with trailing spaces, whereas Linux/macOS systems allow it.
⚠️ Impact
- Users on Windows cannot properly clone and use the repository
- New contributors may get confused or blocked while trying to contribute
- Affects onboarding and PR contributions
✅ Suggested Fix
💡 Additional Note
This issue may not appear on Linux/macOS systems but breaks functionality on Windows environments.
