First you have to make the git clone $ git clone https://github.com/hernanmd/pharo.git You have to ***let it fail*** ... "fatal: unable to checkout working tree" ... Then $ cd pharo/ $ git config core.longpaths true $ git checkout -f HEAD Checking out files: 100% (107983/107983), done. Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/development'.
