Hello @Varun Kumar and welcome to the Community!

From the logs you have shared it seems you are using Bitbucket Windows self-hosted runners. The error message being returned "Filename too long" indicates this behavior is caused by a limitation in Windows OS, that by default only allows filenames/paths up to 260 characters. Since some files in your repository are exceeding that limit, when git is trying to save those files in the local folder, Windows is throwing the error.

I would suggest following the steps outlined in the below article to increase the filename limit on your Windows machine : 

• Git checkouts fail on Windows with "Filename too long error: unable to create file" errors 

Although the article was originally written for Bamboo, since these are OS-level and git configurations, it should apply to Bitbucket Windows Runners as well.

Let me know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @Varun Kumar !
