Description of the problem:
Hello,

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by ‘git commit’. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.’

Someone can explain me what does it mean?
Thank you

Are you trying to create a second experiment in the same folder?

Hello,

You find an explanation here. Basically, there was either a second git-process running when you tried to sync or a previous git-process did not finish properly. The advice is to delete the index.lock file.

Best wishes Jens

Hello,
I think this was the problem. Acidentally I created two same named projects.
Thank you very much
