I get an error

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.

when trying to use Git and created small projects using HTML, CSS, and Javascript file. I created a branch from my empty project, and made a few changes to my code. How to fix the another git process seems to be running in this repository error? Please give me some advice.

    The cause: Such issues usually happen when you run two git commands at the same time, for example, one from the command prompt and the other from an IDE.

    The solution: You can delete the index.lock file from your .git directory.

    rm -f .git/index.lock

  2. The following command should be executed in the root directory. This will remove the index.lock file from the root directory of the application and unlock the active lock. 

    rm .git/index.lock
