Filename too Long in GitKraken for Windows

Question

As suggested in Q22575737, I've updated my registry and have set git config --system core.longpaths true while working with long paths. The problem is solved in Git Bash for Windows however, I am getting the error in GitKraken as below. I've also enabled Long Paths = True from GitKraken preferences as suggested in Q60008822

Incongruous

Answer 1

As a workaround, try and map a local folder to a drive letter

subst x: C:\your`\long\path\to\root\folder\of\repository

See if the issue persists when opening X:\ as your repository in GitKraken.

Apostolate

Fails with the message: Open Failed: Could not find a compatible repository at 'gitkraken.exe', but git bash recognizes it. – Incongruous

@Mr.Hobo Did you map the root folder of your repository? (and not a subfolder inside the repo) – Apostolate

My long path is D:\dev-works\<repository-root>\subdir\subdir\subdir\<submodule-folder> I tried with both repository root and submodule folder, got the same result (repository-link) – Incongruous

@Mr.Hobo OK. I was suggesting to subst only to `D:\dev-works\<repository-root>`, not below. That might not be enough. – Apostolate
