The message "Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)" usually indicates that a Git command executed in the code failed and returned an exit code of 128.
Exit code 128
in Git typically represents an error due to various reasons, such as:
- Git not being installed or not properly configured on the system.
- Permission issues when accessing the repository.
- Attempting a Git command in a directory that is not a Git repository.
- Network-related issues (e.g., authentication problems or unreachable remote repository).
- Corruption in the repository itself.
The specific message suggests that a command (e.g., git
) was executed programmatically, likely through a wrapper or library that runs system commands, and the Cmd()
function (or class) detected that the Git command failed due to the return code 128
.
To debug, you may need to:
- Check the Git command being executed.
- Verify the environment (e.g., within a Git repository or whether permissions are correct).
- Look for additional error messages describing why the Git command failed.
