I am working on Robot framework Automation project. All of a sudden git commit does not work I get below error on commit command 

**fatal: cannot update the ref 'HEAD': unable to append to '.git/logs/HEAD': Bad file descriptor**

I am working on Windows machine. I have done 4 commits till now and code is in Repo. With the latest changes, commit is not happening with above error I have gone through few issues quoted in stack-overflow regarding this but I could get it resolved.

Please help me in overcoming this issue

I use the command git commit -a -m "description" or git commit -m "description"

None of the sudo command work for me it says 

> $ sudo chown -R useremail .git/ 
> bash: sudo: command not found
git-commit github git
