Git SVN error: a Git process crashed in the repository earlier

GitGit Svn

Git Problem Overview

I was just trying to commit changes to the Git master. From what I have read, it seems that the idea is to delete the lock file. The message says:

> make sure no other Git processes are running and remove the file manually

Perhaps someone knows, which file to remove and how to remove?

Git Solutions

Solution 1 - Git

The file in question is likely .git/index.lock and it should be safe to just remove it if you have no other git processes running. Make sure a git-svn command isn't hanging.

PS My usual approach to fixing git-svn problems is to make a fresh pull of the repository. Time consuming, but you can do it in parallel with trying to fix the problem. Have a little race between you and git. Of course, this only works if you didn't have unpushed commits.

You can remove it by running rm -f ./.git/index.lock

The rm command is used to remove (delete) files and directories.

The -f stands for force which tells your computer to remove the files without prompting for confirmation

Solution 3 - Git

For "GUI" user like me

Open Git Extension and choose repository (if more than one) Choose "Settings" from top menu then "Git Maintenance" and then click on "Delete Index Lock"

Git Extensions: Settings->Git Maintenance->Delete Index Lock

Solution 4 - Git

It may also concern any *.lock files in .git/

Check and remove them. You may use: rm -f ./.git/*.lock

Solution 5 - Git

You have already opened a commit in another tab in the terminal

Solution 6 - Git

The answer giving by @Joel helped, except that for windows users you may have to enable show hidden files/folders to access .git folder where index.lock file exist. Use this link in case you don't know how to enable hidden folders.

Solution 7 - Git

Removing the index.lock file like Schwern stated will solve this problem.

You can remove it by running rm -f ./.git/index.lock

The rm command is used to remove (delete) files and directories.

The -f stands for force which tells your computer to remove the files without prompting for confirmation

still not working means open the git through git bash instead of doing in terminal

Solution 8 - Git

I solve this error by just following steps:-

  1. Go in your same directory in which your project exist.
  2. Unhide Hidden files (for ubntu press ctrl+ H)
  3. Move inside .git directory
  4. Remove "index.lock" file

It solve this Problem

Solution 9 - Git

I was facing the issue, and I couldn’t even able to find the index.lock. My environment was a little bit different, a cluster with multiple nodes. The issue was encountered in the master node, and I solve it just by jumping to the worker node since the master node is chaired by all connected user
