Git error due to unproper shutdown

One easy solution would be do delete your git repository and let oxidized repopulate it. You will loose your history by doing this.

More sophisticated solutions need a good understanding of git and its data structure, and it is quite impossible to resolve this from remote. You should read and understand https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Porcelain (and probably the whole git book). This should help you to understand where the problem is.

A few random ideas (without warranty that it should work or even break the repository).

• First, make a backup of your git repository to prevent data loss
• run git gc (Garbage collection)
• run git reset --hard (This will throw away uncomited changes)
• You could rebuild the index (no Idea if it helps):

rm index
git ls-tree -r HEAD | git update-index --index-info

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the explanation and suggestion.
I have gave your suggestion a shot; sadly it is no success.
So i followed your first sentence, i deleted my git repository and let oxidized repopulated it.
