All Errors

The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error indicates a problem on the npm registry server side. This is usually temporary and outside your control, requiring you to wait and retry.

The HTTP 502 Bad Gateway error occurs when an intermediate server (like a CDN or proxy) receives an invalid response from the npm registry. This is typically a temporary infrastructure issue.

The HTTP 503 Service Unavailable error indicates the npm registry is temporarily unable to handle requests. This could be due to maintenance, overload, or temporary server issues.

The EJSONPARSE error occurs when npm encounters invalid JSON in package.json or another JSON configuration file. This is usually caused by syntax errors like missing commas, brackets, or quotes.

This informational message appears when creating the first commit on an orphan branch. Orphan branches intentionally have no parent commits, which is useful for gh-pages, fresh history starts, or separate project histories.

This error occurs when Git cannot resolve the revision range specified in git format-patch. Common causes include not having enough commits in the repository, working with a shallow clone, or referencing commits that don't exist.

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.

The ENOPACKAGEJSON error occurs when npm cannot find a package.json file in the expected location. This usually means you're in the wrong directory or haven't initialized your project.

The "Invalid name" error occurs when your package.json contains a name that doesn't follow npm naming rules. Names must be lowercase, URL-safe, and follow specific conventions.

GitHub no longer accepts account passwords for Git operations over HTTPS. Since August 2021, you must use a personal access token or SSH key to authenticate instead of your password.

The "Missing version" error occurs when package.json lacks the required "version" field. Every npm package must have a valid semantic version number.

The EINVALIDSEMVER error occurs when npm encounters a version string that doesn't follow semantic versioning rules. This can be in package.json or when specifying versions to install.

The ELIFECYCLE error with exit code 2 indicates an npm script failed during execution. The actual cause is shown above the error message—typically a build configuration issue, missing file, or compilation failure.

Git refuses to run 'git clean' without a safety flag. This is an intentional safeguard to prevent accidental deletion of untracked files. Add -f, -n, or -i to proceed.

This error occurs when you try to use git rm on a file that Git is not tracking. The file may have already been deleted, never been added to Git, or you may have a typo in the filename.

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 error occurs when Git cannot cleanly apply a patch file to your working directory because the file contents have changed since the patch was created. The fix involves using --3way merge, --reject flags, or adjusting context matching options.

Git is warning that your pre-commit hook file exists but lacks executable permissions. The hook is being skipped, so any pre-commit checks won't run. Fix it by making the file executable with chmod +x.

Exit code 2 in Docker indicates a misuse of a shell command or invalid arguments passed to a command inside the container. This is a standard Unix/Linux convention where code 2 typically signals command syntax errors, missing required arguments, or incorrect usage of shell builtins.

EISDIR occurs when npm attempts to perform a file operation on a path that is actually a directory. This typically happens due to corrupted node_modules or accidentally creating directories with file names.
