SpringBoot Clone gets succeeded, but the checkout gets failed each time.

I wanted to make some changes to the README.md file of this repo. After cloning, when I try to clone the repo, I get the following error each time.

fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

When I try to inspect the problem as per the instructions, I get the following error as well.

Sorry for the trouble. I guess you're on Windows. If so, please see the advice on the wiki. If you're not on Windows, please provide some more details about the OS that you're using. We're not aware of any problems on macOS or Linux with git's default configuration, nor on Windows once the necessary configuration change has been made.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I was cloning it from my Windows-based PC. After going through the wiki and applying all the steps, the cloning is getting successful without any hassle.
