When I'm trying to revert some of my local changes it says "error: unable to unlink old 'filename': Resource busy"
I already tried to stash the changes, use git reset --hard but nothing works.

1If you're on Windows, it's because some Windows program has told the OS to hold the file for it. Git tries to remove the file (either to replace it with something, or just to remove it) and Windows says "no, I've held it for this other guy". Find out who the "other guy" (other program) is and make it stop. – torek Aug 12 '19 at 15:27

Googling rather suggests this error at some Linux or Mac. – max630 Aug 12 '19 at 16:30

You just have to run the Editor (Ex: VS Code) with Administrator privilege and try again, it will work, I had the same issue and this solution fixes it.
