All Errors

npm looked for node_modules but it does not exist yet (fresh checkout, cleaned workspace, or wrong working directory). Install dependencies or point npm at the correct folder.

The Scalar command is not available in your Git installation. Scalar is a repository management tool for large monorepos that was integrated into Git v2.38+.

npm was told to use npm-shrinkwrap.json but the file is missing or not in the current directory. Commit or generate it, or switch to package-lock.json before rerunning.

The 'cannot run git-askpass' error occurs when Git cannot find or execute the askpass helper program used for credential prompts. This typically happens in non-interactive environments like CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, or when IDE configurations point to missing executables.

The HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout error occurs when the npm registry doesn't respond in time. This indicates network latency issues, registry overload, or proxy timeout configurations.

npm cannot create the global package directory because the prefix is unwritable or owned by root. Use nvm/user prefixes or fix ownership, clear staging, then reinstall.

npm cannot remove its temp .DELETE/.staging folders because they are root-owned or locked. Clean them, move to a user-writable prefix, and prevent AV or other processes from holding the files.

The "Unexpected token" JSON error occurs when npm encounters an invalid character while parsing package.json. This typically indicates a syntax error at the reported position.

This error occurs when Git's index file (.git/index) becomes corrupted, typically due to power loss, system crashes, or abrupt process termination during Git operations. The fix involves removing the corrupted index and regenerating it from HEAD.

The "Unexpected end of JSON input" error occurs when npm receives truncated or incomplete JSON. This typically indicates a corrupted file, incomplete download, or prematurely closed brackets.

This Python error occurred during execution. Check the error message for details on what went wrong and follow the steps below to diagnose and fix the issue.

This Git warning appears when your repository uses the deprecated grafts file to modify commit history. Git 2.46+ actively warns about this feature, which will be removed in Git 3.0. Convert grafts to git replace refs for a permanent fix.

npm failed to set executable bits on an installed file because the path is not writable or the filesystem blocks chmod. Use user-owned prefixes, fix ownership, or move off read-only/NTFS mounts.

The "Missing name" error occurs when your package.json lacks the required "name" field. The name is mandatory for npm to identify and work with your package.

npm cannot list a directory because Windows/WSL or security tools block access. Remove locks, move to user-owned filesystems, fix ownership, and clean/reinstall.

This Git error occurs during checkout, clone, or pull when Git cannot create a directory because a file or another directory with the same name already exists at that path. Common causes include file/directory name conflicts, Windows path limitations, and case sensitivity issues.

The EINVALIDPACKAGENAME error occurs when attempting to install or reference a package with an invalid name. This could be a typo, incorrect scope format, or violation of naming rules.

This error occurs when SSH cannot verify the remote server's identity because its host key is missing from or mismatched in your known_hosts file. The fix typically involves adding the server's host key to your SSH configuration.

This Git error occurs when cloning or pulling a repository containing files with trailing periods (dots) on Windows. The Windows filesystem API rejects these filenames, causing checkout failures even though Unix-like systems permit them.

This Python error occurred during execution. Check the error message for details on what went wrong and follow the steps below to diagnose and fix the issue.
