Update got me cannot lock ref

sweup

Got this error message when trying to update, I tried some Google suggestions but none worked. Any suggestions?

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull && npm install
error: cannot lock ref 'refs/tags/v2.13.0': unable to resolve reference 'refs/tags/v2.13.0': reference broken

@sweup ok

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm .git/refs/tags/v2.13.0
rm .git/refs/tags/v2.14.0
then the purge refs command again

Thanks! I had to make a git stash but then it worked out.

Unrelated - is it “safe” to update Node.js and do a sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade of the Rpi, or could I expect issues? Sorry for noob Qs
