what's that ?

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.

Look for a file named index.lock in your .git folder.

If you're sure there isn't another process currently running (or stuck), remove this file.
