fatal: bad object xxx

Question

I tried reverting to a previous git commit with:

git revert xxx

I\'m now receiving this error as a response:

fatal: bad object          


        

Answer 1

git pull

OR

git fetch origin

Reason: If the commit id which you are trying to cherry pick is not available in your local git, then there is a possible of this error.

Doing a git pull will fix this. If this hasn't been fixed, ask the person who has shared the commit id to push the change to origin and do a git pull
