Hi, please refrain from creating new topics for the same issue.

A simple Google search can help:

Try running the following command from the apps/erpnext directory:

git pull upstream master --allow-unrelated-histories

Hi,

Are you trying to make changes to the ERPNext app directly? It is recommended to create a custom app instead.

See this post for how to reset the ERPNext app directory. Note that any changes you made in the directory will be lost.

no I don’t make any changes
I just installed erpnext and when I run bench update I get that error
I tried for 2 and 3 time in new erpnext but i get the same error

Have you tried

bench update --reset
