Answer 1

I was facing the same issue. If your code is running, Stop it (i.e close the terminal on which npm run *** is working) and close Visual Studio. Re-open it and again run the command git checkout develop . It worked for me.

Answer 2

In my case, I had to run git command with sudo: sudo git checkout

Answer 3

For me it was that I was running npm run watch in a linux subsystem (wsl) running it in a normal cmd fixed it.

Answer 4

This was happening to me on linux. I just renamed the folder with the offending file and from the top directory of the checkout ran a git checkout . which solved the problem.

Answer 5

First make sure to run your cmd/terminal as an administrator (right click on cmd.exe icon -> "Run as Administrator")

I had the same issue with a git pull (using cmder on windows). What worked for me is this:

This will delete your local changes:
hard reset your branch and try again.
$ git checkout origin develop - (failed)
$ git reset --hard HEAD
$ git checkout origin develop - (great success!)

If this doesn't work try forcing the checkout:
This will also throw away your local changes
$ git checkout -f origin develop.
