How to fix: error: '<filename>' does not have a commit checked out fatal: adding files failed when inputting “git add .” in command prompt
问题 I'm trying to add a ruby rails file to my repository in gitlab but it somehow wouldn't allow me to add the file saying that my file does not have commit checked out. I've tried git pull, making the the file again and git adding but still wont work error: '172069/08_lab_routes_controllers_views_172069_172188-Copy/adventure_game/' does not have a commit checked out fatal: adding files failed 回答1: If you have a subdirectory with a .git directory and try to git add . you will see this message.
