Dear Git team,

I have recently updated my computer to W10. So, I reinstalled the newest version of Git, and it is not working. It gives the following error:

Error: Could not fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable (-1).
DLL rebasing may be required; see 'rebaseall / rebase --help'.

I tried reinstalling git, it is still not working. I have googled how to solve it. But none of the solutions out there have been effective. Some of them were like give permission to git in windows defender, others said that there was some incompatibility between git and cygwin... but I don't have cygwin in my computer... and so on. Nothing works.

Now I have installed git 2.23.0 and the specifications of my computer are these:
OS: W10 enterprise
Processor: core i3-4160T CPU 3.10GHz
RAM: 8 GB
System: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor

Can you please help me in any way to solve this?

best regards, Sebastian Castro Alvarez

This sounds as if you tried to install the 32-bit version of Git for Windows? If so, please install the 64-bit version instead.

Ciao, Johannes

Hi Johannes,

I have tried with both versions 32-bit and 64-bit, none of them work for me, I still get the same error. :(

best, Sebastian

The most common reason for this, then, would be an overzealous anti-malware.

Ciao, Johannes
