Hey @subhjitkp007 check this out this will help

Solution: Error: could not lock config file .git/config: File exists

Problem When you do a git remote add, you run into this error because of which you are not able to pull the next module Error: could not lock config file .git/config: File exists Solution Run these on terminal: ls -la ~/.gitconfig sudo rm -rf ~/.gitconfig sudo rm -rf .git/config.lock git config --global user.email “name@gmail.com” git config --global user.name “Name” Now you can get back to your git remote add command

Thanks @amanagar for the help . It works.I have used this command from the mentioned post. If someone face same issue like me they can use the following snippet

sudo rm -rf ~/.gitconfig
sudo rm -rf .git/config.lock
git config --global user.email "yourmail_id_registered_on_gitlab"
git config --global user.name "your_gitlab_user_name"
