Hello,
I have a project stored in a Git Repository, I open the project from the local Git folder. I want to edit the workflow and then commit my changes to the repo. When I add a new xaml sequence, I am able to Commit and publish it at first but when I go to change my branch, merge, or exit the file I get the below error. I click commit/save again and it is automatically deleted from my project.
What is a solution to this?
Before you change branches or merge, make sure all xaml files are closed.
That does not fix the error. Still get it even when they are all closed.
This isn’t a fix, but more of a suggestion. To correct errors like this, close UiPath Studio, and use GitHub for Windows directly on the command line. It’s not ideal, but when faced with errors in using UiPath to push changes, the command line will always work.
Anthony_Humphries is right.
But I’ll add that you’re on Windows: reboot your computer and try again 
It should unlock the file preventing the rebase/fastforward/etc. because often, to process the operation you git “client” will go back in history and try to delete files/directory in the process.
or you might close all open files, all file explore implying a directory inside your project, etc.

Did you close your Explorer/Console window used to access your local git folder?
Yes I close all of them, I have even tried restarting. Nothing seems to work. And the GitHub for Windows is not something that will work for my team.
I don’t use Studio’s Git ability but I have to exit from Studio each time I mess with the git branches.
I’m afraid the game will be to find want locks your dir/files and if it is Studio, how you can use another tools for branch management, sorry
You might also try this for verifying which specific files are locked.
And actually, you might be able to just copy your project and update your branches on the copy. That would become your new working project directory. I can’t think of any reason why the copy would have locked files.
