Git error: cannot lock existing info/refs

Blog/Architecture · · existing info refs lock existing info console

I just messed up my local repository. Thankfully there was an answer in StackOverflow.

When I try to push to my origin I got:

error: cannot lock existing info/refs

I managed to fix it by running

git update-server-info

You may need to close and reopen your console again. It happens sometime that your console is locking the Git instance.
