Cloning into 'main'...

fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

My git repo is stored in dropbox, on my own computer this command works fine, but on another computer it gives me the above error. Any ideas? (of course the repo is synchronized)

Thanks.

Answer 1

The root cause of this problem is dropbox does not syn my repo fully due to write privilege, not Git problem.
