Updating 0dbb518…3a07af6
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
package-lock.json

I have tried a few things I found on google with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

git checkout – package-lock.json followed by git pull worked

@motdog yes, package-lock is rebuilt by npm install, so it is changed

its not important in the operation… it IS important in the automated testing done on the package for changes… (keeps the lib content consistent)

untracked means its not in the repo just erase it
-lock files are rebuilt on npm install
