Expected behavior: git commit to work

Observed behavior:

error: object file .git/objects/78/01f916befcc90988662d4afbd5c9312c4de356 is empty
error: object file .git/objects/78/01f916befcc90988662d4afbd5c9312c4de356 is empty
fatal: loose object 7801f916befcc90988662d4afbd5c9312c4de356 (stored in .git/objects/78/01f916befcc90988662d4afbd5c9312c4de356) is corrupt

Question:

I'm not sure what happened. I was using git as usual, did my git add, and then I could not commit due to the error above. This error occurred with another student in the past. I have linked their post below. I tried the steps suggested there to repair my repo, but like that student, it did not work. Can I get my repo reset?

Thank you,

Reclone; create a fresh copy. Copy over only mm.c and mm.h and try commit and pushing.

That seemed to work thank you.
