It doesn't say the path isn't right, it says it can't create a lock. If no other git instance is running, you could try deleting the lock manually.

I wanted to add it to ../learngit/ .What's the matter wih the path '../learngit/git..' ? – Xiaolong Oct 21 '15 at 12:49

@Xiaolong `'../learngit/git..'` files/folders cannot have a `..` suffix, but that is not the problem in your case, read the error message git throws – Tim Oct 21 '15 at 12:51

@Xiaolong: Git creates a lock file when touching the repository. Normally, the lock file would be removed on a successful end of the operation, but in this case, something went wrong, so the lock file is still there. Just `rm .git/index.lock`. – choroba Oct 21 '15 at 12:51
