git error: invalid object Error building trees
The solution is simple and one-line command!
Today I faced this error:
git error: invalid object Error building trees
Reason:
Because I accidentally disconnected the hard drive from my laptop. I also faced some other problems in my other git repositories and after a while I could fix most of those issues. You can read about one of them (Git status fatal: bad object HEAD) here.
Problem:
When I did:
git status in a git repository, I saw there was one untracked file which I had created already but had not been committed. Everything was okay until I started to add the file to the repository with:
git add . and then
git commit -m “message”Suddenly I saw this error after git commit :

make_file.txt in the Collection directory (as shown in the above picture) is one of the old files that I’ve recently committed it! So there is a problem in the .git directory for this file: make_file.txt
Solution:
As you see above in my case we see (file and its directory) in the terminal:
‘Collection/make-file.txt’So grab it and put it in the next command without quotation mark. Like what I did: (Certainly you should put your specific file name and its directory)
git hash-object -w Collection/make-file.txtAfter that, git will make a Sha1 for the make-file.txt and it’s repository will be fixed.
So the problem is solved! Then we could go forward and git add . and git commit like a normal condition. That’s it.
If you want to run all the git commands just in one command read this.
