Unable to clone repo

[rgamage]

I have been unable to download the code from this repo. I have tried

1. Clone from within Visual Studio - fails due to file paths too long
2. Clone using git command line on Windows 10, fails due to file paths too long
3. Download as zip from Github - .zip file downloads, but error upon opening, 'file is invalid' - possibly due to long file paths?

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

- [ ] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [ ] feature request
- [x] documentation issue or request
- [ ] regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped in a new release)

Minimal steps to reproduce

Any log messages given by the failure

Expected/desired behavior

OS and Version?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). macOS (Yosemite? El Capitan? Sierra?)

Versions

Mention any other details that might be useful

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

@rgamage We plan to change the file names soon. Meanwhile you can run this command
"git config --system core.longpaths true" if it works.
