I am trying to push code to a remote repo -
git push uat release/1.1:release Counting objects: 4047, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (1679/1679), done. Writing objects: 100% (4047/4047), 3.38 MiB | 1.79 MiB/s, done. Total 4047 (delta 2160), reused 3666 (delta 1909) remote: Switched to branch 'release' To ubuntu@ubuntu-jvm:/repos/tms/uat * [new branch] release/1.1 -> release error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/uat/release' error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/remotes/uat/release'.
How do I resolve the above error.
I suspect you have other branches named release/<something> on your uat remote. The push command you are running is trying to convert a local branch release/1.1 into a remote branch release, but the remote refuses to remove release/<something> because that would lose information. Try git push uat release/1.1:newrelease or something similar to avoid the conflict of trying to have a single branch named the same thing as a "subdirectory" containing other branches (it's not truly a subdirectory, but the way git works internally, it is sometimes stored as an actual subdirectory).
git remote show uat or git branch -r will show you what branches your uat remote has.
