Error #20 in Git typically refers to an error related to a corrupted object, which can sometimes occur during operations like cloning, pulling, or pushing. If you're encountering this error while working on your finance full-stack web app using Flask and SQL, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Steps to Fix Git Error #20:

1. Check Your Git Version:
   Ensure you’re using an up-to-date version of Git. You can check your version with:

   git --version

2. Clear the Git Cache:
   Sometimes, the Git cache can get corrupted. Try clearing it:

   git gc --prune=now
   git repack -a -d

3. Fetch and Reset:
   Fetch the latest changes from your remote repository and reset your local branch:

   git fetch origin
   git reset --hard origin/main  # Replace 'main' with your branch name

4. Re-clone the Repository:
   If the issue persists, consider re-cloning the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>

5. Check for Corrupt Objects:
   You can check for corrupt objects in your repository:

   git fsck --full

6. Consult the Log:
   Check the Git log to see if any recent changes might have caused the issue:

   git log --oneline

7. Backup Your Changes:
   If you have local changes that you want to save, create a patch before making drastic changes:

   git diff > changes.patch

8. Check Disk Space:
   Ensure you have enough disk space on your drive, as low disk space can sometimes cause issues.

Additional Help:

If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider checking forums like Stack Overflow or the Git documentation for further assistance.

To switch to the production branch using git switch use the command git switch production, but if there is no production already existing production branch it will not be able to switch.

Use git switch -c production

-c will create a new production branch, in which you can switch to production branch.
