Git hangs on git pull or git fetch

Sometime I find git hanging in wsl and it is not able to recover. The only way to recover is restarting the computer.

The tool you want is lsof, which stands for list open files.

It has a lot of options, so check the man page, but if you want to see all open files under a directory:

lsof +D /path

That will recurse through the filesystem under /path, so beware doing it on large directory trees.

Once you know which processes have files open, you can exit those apps, or kill them with the kill(1) command.

The author describes an ‘implicit else’. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Turns out it’s just doing this:

if (x) {
  return y;
 }
return z;

instead of this:

if (x) {
  return y;
 } else {
  return z;
 }
