I committed some files with a name containing ':' and '"' characters, which are invalid on Windows. When I try to git pull from a Windows machine it gives me an error message.
Is there a way to rename these files on the repo from the Windows machine? Or is there any other workaround?

windows-10-git.mdGo to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem in gpedit. msc , open Enable Win32 long paths and set it to Enabled .
To resolve this behavior, make sure that the path of the file contains less than 256 characters. To do this, use one of the following methods: Rename the file so that it has a shorter name. Rename one or more folders that contain the file so that they have shorter names.
If you have an access to a linux machine you can rename it, do the according changes into the code, and push to the repository (with appropriate comment)

You could try doing a "sparse checkout" so that you don't check out those files on Windows.

Of course, this only works for you if it's okay not to have those files present on Windows.
