Fixing the Repo about banksy HOT 4 CLOSED

Okay I forked the repo and cloned that one and it worked. So then I deleted the one for the original from my computer and recloned it and now everything seems fine

@James-f117 I think @alnopa9 may have fixed it by reorganizing the repo without the KML directory. Try a git pull on the repo now...what happens?

Okay! I think that means our repo is up and running again! 🎉

Okay--so the GitHub developers are still mystified about what happened, but I talked to @djbpitt about it (my friend who teaches the Pitt DH class), and he cloned your repo and had a look. He spotted something we were seeing on @James-f117's monitor today: that the KML directory had a white space at the end of its name, like this: KML . We could see that on the PC computer, but it wasn't so easy to see on my Mac or on @abdual1100's Mac. @djbpitt used a tree program to look at the directory structure at the time of the problematic directory, and here's what it looked like:

See that white space?
So, we learned the hard way that PC's can't tolerate white spaces at the ends of file directory names in GitHub--and they really can't tolerate them! So when @alnopa9 got rid of the file directory and saved the documents in a new KML file, that fixed the problem. But you could probably also try re-creating that KML directory again without any white spaces this time.
