This is not the first time I am doing a hard reset on my repo but this time, I am getting an error. I am working on an iOS Project. I am doing the reset from terminal. How do I fix the fatal error

I have same problem and fixed.

This problem occurs when there have been changes like force-pushes to a git repo which is referenced in a Gemfile.

The solution is is to comment that gem line in Gemfile, run bundle, uncomment it and bundle again. Then the Gemfile.lock will reference a valid git revision.
