Unable to create `index.lock`: File exists.
See original GitHub issueHi Carlos,
First of all thanks for such an amazing piece of cake. I’d be great if I could get this to work but unfortunately I am always getting this error:
I’ve tried also with sudo gitmoji -c but doesn’t work either. Any clue of what could be going on here? I’ve made sure there is no index.lock file in my .git/ folder.
Thank you very much!
Ramón

i solved the problem by create and remove the file
touch .git/index.lock && rm .git/index.lockbut it is frustrating because the error triggered quite frequently.
Its funny indeed. It works only in new repos but not on the existing ones I have already.
