Can you share some details about the error? What software you use, and where this happens?

this looks like duplicate of #1733

Hello @jcubic I'm trying deploy with salesforce sfdx using the default config of SFDX with VScode

this error stated this week

[jcubic]

You need to contact developers that maintain the software you're using, so they update the library, they break their code and you blame isomorphic git because of the error message. The new error message should say that is wrong with their code. THe problem is that git index is empty which means that the tool you're using deleted the file somehow.

@jcubic I think the comment in the error message that instructs the user to report the issue to the isomorphic-git project should be removed. I've never found those sorts of suggestions to be productive.

[jcubic]

Agree. The error was supposed to find errors in a library, but this is really annoying because people report here instead of the project they are using.

@jcubic this issue is related to #1768 I've had the same index issue with one of my sfdx plugins using statusmatrix. Had to pin iso-git version to 1.23 to fix it.

[jcubic]

I'll try to add a dummy PR with a proper bugfix commit message.

The issue at foresales: forcedotcom/cli#2194

[AzferPervaiz]

Had the same issue, it was fixed when I deleted the index file after searching for it, the file is mentioned as: .git/index

[jcubic]

Try reporting this to project forcedotcom/cli.

I know that the error says to report it here, but the bug is in the Salesforce extension, nothing we can do about the bug in that project.
