How to fix: error: '' does not have a commit checked out fatal: adding files failed when inputting “git add .” in command prompt

Question

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.

Answer 1

I had the same error Message. I fixed it by deleting the file which causes the error from my Directory.

I hope this helps =)
