i have checked git was not installed in project.

   git commit

After Googling i have This is happening After Angular 8.

Bug

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/14600

Solution 1:^[1]

It's a bug in Angular 8

you can work around it by using:

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --allow-dirty

Solution 2:^[2]

I have tried using mention command for upgrading from angular 8 to angular 9, but was still getting the error.

Then i have tried same command with --force flag and it worked for me.

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --allow-dirty --force

Solution 3:^[3]

I've had the same issue. It's a common bug in Angular 8. Simply you can use dirty commands to bypass the repo check, such as (if u really need to bypass this, follow force commands)

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --allow-dirty or
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --allow-dirty --force

but, I didn't do that. I followed following steps...

first of all double check whether you are commited all the changes before the update.then keep a copy of the project to the same location and commit the copy also to the Git. then run following command from the original project directory

ng update @angular/core@8 @angular/cli@8

afterwards u can delete the copy. This worked for me! thank you!

Solution 4:^[4]

I faced the same issue, which I resolved using the below command

git stash --include-untracked

Solution 5:^[5]

Worked for me

sudo npm update @angular/cli @angular/core --allow-dirty --legacy-peer-deps

Solution 6:^[6]

in my case, this was due to a node_modules folder not being excluded by the .gitignore. once added, this error no longer appeared

Solution 7:^[7]

It might appear in many cases. Just commit or stash any changes and run the command again.

Solution 8:^[8]

First, Check if there are any changes in your code that haven't pushed to git if yes push them, then close the old instance(cmd) and open a new instance of cmd then run the command. This worked for me, Thanks
