It doesn't say the path isn't right, it says it can't create a lock. If no other git instance is running, you could try deleting the lock manually.

I wanted to add it to ../learngit/ .What's the matter wih the path '../learngit/git..' ?

@Xiaolong '../learngit/git..' files/folders cannot have a .. suffix, but that is not the problem in your case, read the error message git throws

@Xiaolong: Git creates a lock file when touching the repository. Normally, the lock file would be removed on a successful end of the operation, but in this case, something went wrong, so the lock file is still there. Just rm .git/index.lock.
