Git sync with Workspace error - the items in the following list have a reserved name
Hi BorArt,
That's interesting, I've not encounted this issue before.
Are you using GItHub or DevOps? It shouldn't matter but maybe we can narrow down the scope and get to the bottom of this.
Have you tried "branching out" to a new workspace. Instead of creating a new workspace and connecting it to git, from the git menu in the original workspace you can branch out which will both create a new branch on the repo and create a new workspace connected to that branch.

I’m using GitHub and I managed to narrow the issue down.
I was switching between branches with different content:
- Branch main → contains notebook_1
- Branch dev → contains notebook_1 and notebook_2
When I tried to switch back from main to dev, I got the error:
“the items in the following list have a reserved name.”
Then I tried pulling the same repo into a newly created workspace — and hit the same issue.
Next, I used a deployment pipeline to move the items into another new workspace (not the corrupted one). That worked. After that, I connected the Git repository to this new workspace, and now I can switch between branches with different item sets without any problems. It also started working again in the original workspace.
So at the moment, the issue is gone, but the workaround feels quite strange.
However, I still cannot pull the repository into a completely empty workspace.
