Github Windows 'Failed to sync this branch'

Question

I am using Github Windows 1.0.38.1 and when I click the \'Sync\' button after committing, I get the error

Answer 1

When it says that, just open the shell and do git status. That will give you a decent idea of what could be wrong and the state of your repo.

I can't give you a specific error for this as it happens for many reasons in Github for Windows, like say some problem in updating submodules etc.
