aux is a reserved keyword on key windows - can't checkout aux.py

[dan-marshman]

The file aux.py in the cryptoalgotrading directory raises and error when checking out on Windows as aux is a reserved key word.

error: invalid path 'cryptoalgotrading/aux.py'
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 :/'

More info from WIndows

It might be worth renaming that file to algo_aux.py or something like that?

(I normally use Linux but happened to be looking at the project on my windows machine)

Cool project by the way - are you looking for contributors?

thanks for the alert. didn't test this on windows yet.

If you want you can contribute by fixing this for windows. It would be great!

Another option is to configure git to allow the checkout of paths that could cause problems with the NTFS filesystem. A file named 'aux.py' doesn't seem like it should be a problem.

These commands allowed me to clone this project on Windows 11:

git clone https://github.com/ivopetiz/algotrading.git
cd algotrading
git config core.protectNTFS false
git checkout
