You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 54f0025... Project snapshot

I suspect it has to do with github dependency for react-native-layout-tester?

  "babel-jest": "17.0.2",

Solution

upgrade should work flawlessly

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.37.0
• Platform: both

[bd-arc]

I can confirm this issue too while trying to upgrade to RN 0.40.0.

• React Native version: 0.39.0
• Platform: both
• Operating System: MacOS

happens when I tried to upgrade from 0.40 to 0.41

[ncuillery]

It has to do with the Git dependencies indeed. That should be fixed.

In the meantime, just remove them temporary from your package.jsonbefore running "react-native-git-upgrade".

[yaronlevi]

I solved it. For me running yarn instead of npm worked. The steps:

1. clone a fresh copy of my repo (which is now at 0.40.0)
2. run yarn
3. run react-native-git-upgrade 0.41.0
   everything is fine!
   doing the same with npm didn't work.

[philohelp]

Same here. I just did yarn then react-native-git-upgrade and it worked.

[MaxwellGover]

I tried cloning a copy of my old repo (0.42.0), running yarn, and then running react-native-git-upgrade 0.43.0 and still getting fatal: working tree '.' already exists. error. I saw something about removing a package from package.json temporarily? How do you even do that? Looks like react-native-camera may be causing the issue?

Upgrading to 0.47.2 displays the above notice. I've tried clearing the yarn cache without any luck.

[aditya27dev]

I was having the same issue, followed these steps and issue is resolved now:

run command yarn in your project folder and after that run react-native-git-upgrade

[jmatsushita]

I had to both use yarn to reinstall but also remove the following cache folder /Users/jun/Library/Caches/Yarn/v1/.tmp.

[galcivar]

Tried using yarn then react-native-git-upgrade without avail (also cleared the cache). I get:

In my case it was giving an error because of yarn no being able to read private repositories like this:

"react-native-elements": "git+https://github.com/*****/react-native-elements.git#Custom_Button",
