General Registry failed to update in Julia

I just launched Julia and tried to add a package and then it gave the following error: 

┌ Warning: Some registries failed to update:
│     — /Users/logankilpatrick/.julia/registries/General — failed to fetch from repo
└ @ Pkg.Types /Users/sabae/buildbot/worker/package_macos64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.3/Pkg/src/Types.jl:1199

Any thoughts to resolve this? I don't think I made any recent changes to this and I am running on Julia 1.3.0 right now.

EDIT:

This is the output of the registry status command:

(v1.3) pkg> registry st
Registry Status

I am not sure as to the root cause of why this occurred but the following basic steps from the Pkg docs resolved the issue: 

(v1.3) pkg> registry rm General
  Removing registry `General` from ~/.julia/registries/General

(v1.3) pkg> registry add https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General
   Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General"
     Added registry `General` to `~/.julia/registries/General`

(v1.3) pkg> registry up General
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General`
