I would just like to ask what could be the meaning of this error?

error: fsmonitor_ipc__send_query: unspecified error on '.git/fsmonitor--daemon.ipc'

I'm trying to find something similar to this case but for some reason, all I see is another line error which is very similar but isn't explained why. I encountered this while I'm using Git Bash. I'm trying to utilize the Bash terminal as I want to have a different window separated when working with VS Code. Hope this become a reference for the others.

I, like others have mentioned, received this error, and my current Git version is 2.32.0.windows.1. I've been running this version for months and today was the first time I encountered the error.

I killed all running git.exe processes on my machine and the error went away.

Note that when you upgrade to a new version of Git, one of the things you have to do is stop all running processes of Git. I mention this because it might not be the case that this is a bug specific to 2.32 which is fixed in version 2.33, but instead, maybe it's simply the action of killing the running Git processes during the install that fixes the issue. I suppose a reboot may have fixed it as well.

Error seems to be related to a bug in Git for Windows 2.32. Upgrading to Git for Windows 2.33+ has fixed it for several people.

At first, uninstall git from your computer. Then delete the Git folder from C:\Program Files. Finally, install git again and restart your computer.
