This repo seams not ment to be cloned onto a file system, which is case-insensitive. For example, (see below), this 2 files a different in the repo, but the file system can not have 'WordPress' and 'Wordpres's as different files or directories at the same time. This affects typically Mac OS and Windows users. There is actually some work going on right now to inform the user about this problem. (Thanks Duy !) If I clone it with a patched Git, I get the following: git clone https://github.com/kevinxucs/Sublime-Gitignore.git Cloning into 'Sublime-Gitignore'... remote: Counting objects: 515, done. remote: Total 515 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 515 Receiving objects: 100% (515/515), 102.16 KiB | 35.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (143/143), done. warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same colliding group is in the working tree: 'boilerplates/Gcov.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Nanoc.gitignore' 'boilerplates/OpenCart.gitignore' 'boilerplates/SASS.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Sass.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Stella.gitignore' 'boilerplates/WordPress.gitignore' 'boilerplates/Wordpress.gitignore' 'boilerplates/gcov.gitignore' 'boilerplates/nanoc.gitignore' 'boilerplates/opencart.gitignore' 'boilerplates/stella.gitignore' Would this text help you ? I am asking because the development is still ongoing, so things can be improved.
