.dir folders are created when you move content from crx to eclipse or local file system. 

Ideally these files should not be committed. Better add that pattern in git.ignore  ,so that it will not even ask for commit.

    Hi @sonuk85184451,

    Can you run the below command in git as Administrator and see if that helps:

    git config --system core.longpaths true.

     

    This is discussed in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52699177/how-to-fix-filename-too-long-error-during-git-clone

       git config --system core.longpaths true . Normally whenever I faced this issue, running the above command helped

       

      Thanks
