CocoaPods - pod setup Failed: /usr/bin/git checkout master

Question

After I run `$sudo gem install cocoapods` and then `$pod setup`, there is an error. Please help me to fix it. ``` [!] Pod::Executable pull Updating eaf98af..ba3c030 error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: Google-Maps-iOS-SDK/1.3.0/Google-Maps-iOS-SDK.podspec Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting ```

Accepted Answer

Looks like you have an edited spec that's messing with the git repo. The easiest way to fix this would be to delete the local copy of the specs repo. From terminal:

```
rm -rf ~/.cocoapods; pod setup
```

EDIT:

Today (1/30/14) there was an issue with the specs repo that may make you want to fix this. Read more about it on the CocoaPods Blog
