Hello sir,
Good day.

My Git Bash was perfect but suddenly It stooped work for me.

I just got message
"Error: could not fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable (-1).
DLL rebasing may be required. See 'rebaseall / rebase --help'."

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

I'm Windows 10 User.

Is this a 32-bit system? If so, simply try to reinstall Git for Windows,
that should make it work again [*1*].

If that does not solve the problem, you will want to open a ticket at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/new

Ciao,
Johannes
