With git diff you can see what has changed.

If you are not interested to save these local changes you can run git reset --hard. This will revert all changes and after this the git pull should work.

you will also need to do this:

cd ~/MagicMirror/vendor
rm package-lock.json

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm package-lock.json

And while I have you here… please use the Markdown features of the board in the future when posting code and error messages. Thanks.

package-lock.json is automatically generated for any operations where npm modifies either the node_modules tree, or package.json. It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates.

Those files should really be in a .gitignore file but that is another issues.

So why aren’t we putting them in? I still don’t really know what their purpose is.

rm package-lock.json

rm vendor/package-lock.json

In order to update git requires that no local files have changes, that is what the error message means.
Those files should really be in a .gitignore file but that is another issues. Removing the files should solve your issue.
