Debug Error - GitHub for Windows, --> debug the state of this repo - Easy Fix
By Avi Aryan
This Text explains how to get around with "debug the state of this repo" Error.
This text does not uses Cmd and Powershell, so it can be followed by a basic user.
If you face the above Error in GitHub for Windows, then ------
* First Go to your local repo i.e. the repo's local folder.
* Show Hidden Files via the Folder Options.
* You will see a ".git" named folder in your local repo as soon as hidden files are set to be seen.
* Delete That.
* Now open Github for Windows.
* Now, if you click on that repo in Local Tab, you should get an Error that repo cant be found.
*
* There it is, click on Re-Clone Repository button.
*
* The Repo will be downloaded again, with all commits and saved by default in -- My Documents/GitHib/<RepoName>
Enjoy!

This showed up when apparently I had a file that was too large in my commit. When I opened up powershell and used git push, it revealed the source of the error. Though I imagine the github desktop app throws this message for a variety of reason
