I had the same issue and it was not fixed even if I deleted the .git/index and .git/index.lock file. I had to go to SourceTree Options -> Git and select "Use Embedded Git" to make it work. Before it was "Use System Git".

I'm facing with the same issue. My software configuration is:

  • Windows 10
  • SourceTree 2.0.18.1 configured to use System Git version
  • Git v2.12.2.windows.1

I updated Git to v2.12.2.windows.2 (the latest build) and the problem disappeared.

This is happening because Git was installed and then SourceTree with Git inside. This generated a conflict between the two installed GITs. You need to uninstall Git or in the SourceTree installation point where it is installed.

I ran into this as well. I followed the steps here and it solved my problem:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-2018

Specifically:

Using the terminal and changing your directory to your repository you can do the following (making sure you back up your repository first, just in case):

rm .git/index git add .

Or if you have changes in your working directory you want to keep you can do the following:

rm .git/index git reset HEAD .
