Another git process seems to be running in this repository

Question

I\'m trying to learn how to use Git and have created a small project with an HTML, CSS, and Javascript file. I made a branch from my basically empty project and then made so

Answer 1

Well, what helped me was simply making a copy of the repo folder with everything including the .git folder and working from the copy.

1. I made a copy of the repo folder
2. I navigated into the copy and deleted the .git/index.lock file & then i was able to initiate a PR
3. I deleted my original repo folder
4. I renamed the copy to the original

That worked for me.
