Git Errors

6 errors

Common Git errors — not a repository, merge conflicts, rejected pushes, and authentication issues.

6 / 6

  1. 1

    fatal: not a git repository

    You ran a git command in a directory that isn't inside a git repo — there's no `.git` folder in this or any parent directory.

  2. 2

    Merge Conflict

    Git stopped mid-merge because both branches edited the same lines — you must manually choose which version to keep.

  3. 3

    Push Rejected

    Your push was rejected because the remote branch has newer commits — you need to pull and integrate them first.

  4. 4

    Detached HEAD

    You're working on a commit directly, not a branch — any commits you make won't belong to any branch and could be lost.

  5. 5

    Branch Does Not Exist

    You referenced a branch name that git doesn't know about — it doesn't exist locally or hasn't been fetched from the remote.

  6. 6

    Uncommitted Changes

    Git stopped you because switching branches or pulling would overwrite changes you haven't committed yet.
