error: failed to push some refs
My co-worker received an error message when trying to do a push to our git repos. Usually a pull will fix the issue in my experience but this was different. Error Message git.exe push --progress "origin" branchName:branchName error: Couldn't set refs/heads/branchName To X:\xxx.git ! branchName -> branchName (failed to write)error: failed to push some refs to 'X:\xxx.git'
Resolution
To resolve, we had to run some clean-up/performance commands on the remote repository.
Commands
git fsck --unreachable
git reflog expire --expire=0 --all
git repack -a -d -l
git prune
git gc --aggressive
