During Initialization, two plugins "Clone succeeded, but checkout failed."

[GymRat102]

Hi comminity,

As title says, I encountered error during plugin initialization like this:

Retried by re-entering nvim several times but didn't work. The log says retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/' but I don't know where to execute this command.

Appreciate for help

U seem to have a failed installation of the plugins. Just remove the plugin folder and re-open nvim and let the plugin reinstall itself again.

If u don't know where to find the plugin folder, check our repo wiki.

this is what it looks like for ~/.local/share/nvim/site/lazy/copilot.lua:

when I run git status:

then when I run git restore --source=HEAD :/:

everything appears.

hmm this is more like the result of (external) intervention, as git checkout never fails due to deleted nodes.

Can u provide those relevant information (if possible) after removing the whole plugin directory?

rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/site/lazy && nvim

it first showed this prompt and then entered into plugin installation

This time more plugin failed. Do you think it could be due to network connectivity? Another mac installed successfully (with a private VPN connect)

Did u see any difference wrt the output of git status and git restore --source=HEAD :/? If not, then this is indeed an issue with network connectivity - sometimes ur computer may receive corrupted data packs and this makes such data seems inaccessible. This explains why clone succeeded but checkout failed.

network connectivity is the cause! I changed to a stable one and it worked. Thank you for your patience @Jint-lzxy @CharlesChiuGit
