I had a problem now when I needed to delete the file .git/index.lock. Without hesitation, I assume that this file somehow blocks processes that can access the git repository. However, I cannot find a good description / documentation for what this file really does, and why you are asking the problem described, for example, in this question (link) .
What does index.lockit actually do, and what causes the problem with this file in people?
It would be very nice to know, so I can prevent this problem in the future.
