Git cannot lock ref 'HEAD': unable to resolve reference HEAD

Question

I\'m trying to commit the changes to my repository but I receive the error below:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false commit -q -F C:\\U         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was to navigate to the head like so :

.git/refs/heads/branch_name

And I deleted the head file . Then I went to the console and I used the command :

git reset

Then all the files were unstaged so add them and commit them afterwards.
