Why is unity stuck on this infinitely?

Question

So im using github desktop to transfer my project around places and today when i went to open my unity project (version 2020.3.17f1) its just stuck on this forever?

I don't know why or how this is happening but it causes unity to halt opening for about 10 mins and as you could probably guess, I dont want that. (PS: event after the 10min pause unity still takes ages to open) I have never encountered this problem before, please god help me...

Edit: I have found what may be the issue, when unity opened it threw a warning saying my 2 empty folders cannot be stored in version control.
