      When attempting to update my magic mirror modules I get the following error messgae
      “pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todoist $ git pull
      error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
      package-lock.json
      Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
      Aborting”

      1)How do i solve this?
      2) What caused this “package-lock.json”?
      3) Anyway to remove this package permanently?

        package-lock.json

        erase the package-lock.json and then git pull again, and npm install

            @KumarTRD you are in the module folder, right?

            cd  ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todoist 
            rm package-lock.json

              this file is rebuilt each time by npm install
              but it is also included in the git repo for this module, it should not be

                @sdetweil correct Sam but do I run the rm package-lock.json in the module folder or in cd /MagicMirror folder? I haven’t tried it in the module folder

                    @sdetweil it looks like it’s present in all my modules because I get the same error when attempting to up those as well and my MagicMirror software as well. Any way to complete remove it ?

                      @KumarTRD every module that has a package.json file and uses the step npm install will have a lock file.
                      but as I said, it should NOT have been included in the git package, because it produces this error, and prevents users from moving forward
