Git - Error invalid path

Solution 1:

You can check out the file to another path, such as to the current directory

git checkout -- <path>/<file>

In your case, it should be

git checkout -- C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

You can also specify a directory to extract your file

git checkout-index --prefix=destination/path/ C:/Csmart/files/companies/19/migration/CompanyDataEntry.xls

If that does not help, just export all files into a new directory

$ git checkout-index --prefix=git-export-dir/ -a

For more information , refer to the documentation for git checkout-index
