# Git Stale Lock Recovery
When git operations fail with lock errors across multiple repos, identify stale `.git/index.lock` files left by crashed processes. Remove locks with `rm .git/index.lock`, then retry. For corrupted rebase states, check `git rebase-merge/` — if only `autostash` exists, the rebase is corrupted; abort with `git rebase --abort` and use merge instead. Always wait for background git processes (check `ps`) before retrying, as incomplete operations leave stale locks.Is this your skill, or is something wrong with this listing?
