When do a make install inside frontend, it show a error.

Found core at core
Cannot update core. Commit your changes first.

what to do?

That usually happens when you have a core folder with changes that show up if you git status inside of it.

The core folder is the folder where the volto core is cloned in order to make all the scripts and the builds work, and it's simply cloned with git by the make install script.

I have noticed this even when I haven't made any changes inside the core folder. We might need to take a closer look at how this happens.

As a workaround you can delete the entire core folder and install again.
