      Hi
      I tried to update the MMM-Fuelwith the MMM Remote Control modul, but got an error message.
      So I did it by VNC and got the message to remove a file manually, but don’t know where to find this file to remove it…

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Fuel $ git pull
      Aktualisiere b973f7a..3b84d47
      fatal: Unable to create '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Fuel/.git/index.lock': Die Datei existiert bereits.
      
      If no other git process is currently running, this probably means a
      git process crashed in this repository earlier. Make sure no other git
      process is running and remove the file manually to continue. 
      

      Thank you

        Hello @kurt,
        It’s an error that shouldn’t be happening often, but luckily the solution is simple.
        First go to the module folder. Then type rm -f .git/index.lock, this removes the file that causes problems. After that you should be able to do your git pull without a problem :D

        If there is anything don't hesitate to contact me!
