Enabling Long Path Names on Windows

Here is how you enable long path names on Windows (I tested this on Window 10.0.16299.1268):

1. Run:

   regedit.exe

2. Open the key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

3. Set LongPathsEnabled to 1:
   
   
4. Reboot

Then, if you are a git user, you will need to run:

git config --system core.longpaths true

This usually requires admin rights.

That’s it.
