Strange, works me: did you do this?

git clone https://github.com/SynBioHub/synbiohub.git

On Linux, the clone operation seems to work.
One of my colleagues Found this StackOverflow: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63727594/github-git-checkout-returns-error-invalid-path-on-windows
The problem we were seeing is a Window problem because the filename contains illegal characters:
Basically, after checking out the repo he did git config --global core.protectNTFS false before the clone operation.
