Answer 1

I have upstream and fork repos. Issue is with develop branch.

This is what happened in my case. Git showing one file has been deleted . But actually I didn't delete any file. So I wanted to reset it and take the pull. But it is throwing below error

unable to create symlink src/config/features.json (File name too long)

I tried below things but I got same error

git rebase -i 
git pull 
git reset --hard HEAD

Solution:

I have committed with the deleted file to my fork on develop branch. 
Then I switched the some other branch let's say release and deleted the issue branch i.e develop.
Then I have deleted develop from my fork as well. 
Now I did checkout to develop branch from upstream repo. and pushed to my fork.

Everything is fine now.
