How to resolve "git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128)" error on TortoiseGit? [closed]

Question

I've run into this serious error while committing, and created a bug report.

I keep getting this error on TortoiseGit operations:

git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128)

I've reinstalled the program, rebooted, and tried to clone a fresh repo from github - nothing seems to work. I also deleted %appdata%\Tortoise git folder ... I'm at a loss now. Any advice on how to proceed?

Answer 1

It's probably because your SSH key has been removed/revoked. Make a new one and add it to your GitHub account.

Answer 2

for me I simply had to add configure my git username and email with the following commands:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]" git config --global user.name "Your Name"
