Git - Error invalid path

up vote

I have been working for so long on a mac and have committed it looks like a file like this:

C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

This file does not exist in the repository. My repository was actually located in /Users/Sethuram/Development/Csmart/workspaces/csmart. It looks like I might have somehow checked in a file with the name C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls into my git repo and pushed it.

Now I am trying to clone this repo on my windows box and I get an error like below:

error: Invalid path 'C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls'

I understand its an invalid path. I am not sure how to correct it. I dont have access to my mac anymore to delete and push from there.

On the windows box this file appears as a change I need to commit:

$ git status

# On branch master

# Changes to be committed:

#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

#

#       deleted:    C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

How do I get rid of this error?

You can check out the file to another path, such as to the current directory

git checkout -- <path>/<file>

In your case, it should be

git checkout -- C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

You can also specify a directory to extract your file

git checkout-index --prefix=destination/path/ C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

If that does not help, just export all files into a new directory

$ git checkout-index --prefix=git-export-dir/ -a

For more information , refer to the documentation for git checkout-index
