The "filename too long" error message in Git usually occurs when a file path in your repository exceeds the maximum length allowed by Git. This can happen on Windows systems, which have a shorter maximum path length than Unix-based systems.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following solutions:
Rename the file: You can try renaming the file to a shorter name to reduce the length of the file path. Make sure to update any references to the file in your code accordingly.
Move the file: You can move the file to a shorter path within your repository. This can also involve restructuring your repository to have a shallower directory structure.
Enable long file paths in Git: Git has a configuration setting that allows it to handle longer file paths. To enable this, you can run the following command in your Git repository:
luagit config --system core.longpaths true
Note that this option is not available on all platforms and may not work in all cases.
Use Git LFS: Git LFS (Large File Storage) is an extension to Git that allows you to manage large files more efficiently. You can install Git LFS and use it to store your large files, which can help reduce the length of your file paths.
Once you have resolved the issue, you can try adding and committing the file again. If you still encounter the "filename too long" error, repeat the above steps until you have reduced the file path to a length that Git can handle.
