Hi Mona, my best guess is that this is because Webstorm messed with your .git directory.

If you have no changes that you would like to preserve in your git repo, then, simply deleting everything(including the .git directory), and cloning the repo again should work.

I don't think it is related to WebStorm.

Even in the terminal I am getting this error. I never had this problem with Webstorm

I did what @davidatbu suggested. Deleted the repo and git pulled it again and the problem was resolved. I am not sure what might have caused it but glad it is resolved.
