error: Your         


        

Answer 1

You are not able to checkout Gemfile.lock since spring is running in the backend to sync your code in developement environment. If you want to checkout, firstly stop the spring processes. You can stop spring in two different ways.

1. Either you just stop spring using command in the terminal

spring stop

2. Or by manually killing the processes of spring running on local, just like

   ps -aef | grep spring
   kill -9 pid
   

Both looks good to me. Choose what's better for you!
