Unable to create index.lock, already exists

    • Component/s: Git
    • None
    • Severity 2 - Major

      Since I've updated to the latest version, I see very often - for any operation - the following:

      fatal: Unable to create 'XXX/.git/index.lock': File exists.


Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.

      I've tried to:

      • Disable Source control in Xcode
      • Close Visual Studio Code

      with apparently no good results.
