+This site can be developed on Windows; however, a few potential gotchas need to be kept in mind:
 
 1. Regular Expressions: Windows uses `\r\n` for line endings, while Unix-based systems use `\n`. Therefore, when working on Regular Expressions, use `\r?\n` instead of `\n` in order to support both environments. The Node.js [`os.EOL`](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_eol) property can be used to get an OS-specific end-of-line marker.
-2. Paths: Windows systems use `\` for the path separator, which would be returned by `path.join` and others. You could use `path.posix`, `path.posix.join` etc and the [slash](https://ghub.io/slash) module, if you need forward slashes - like for constructing URLs - or ensure your code works with either.

 3. Bash: Not every Windows developer has a terminal that fully supports Bash, so it's generally preferred to write new scripts in TypeScript rather than Bash.
-4. Filename too long error: There is a 260 character limit for a filename when Git is compiled with `msys`. While the suggestions below are not guaranteed to work and could cause other issues, a few workarounds include:

     - Update Git configuration: `git config --system core.longpaths true`
     - Consider using a different Git client on Windows
