Eclipse Egit Not Detecting Changed Files
- which version of EGit are you using
- do you get the egit team menu if you right-click any resource in your git tracked project ?
- if not then you need to do "Team > Share > Git", then check "Use or create repository in parent folder of project". If you are using a very recent nightly build version this will be checked automatically.
- when you modify a file tracked by (e)git a text decorator ">" should appear in front of the modified file
- as soon as you stage the modified file (Team > Add) the decorator should show the star
- also the staging view should always show the git status for all modified files
You need to "Add to index" all files again probably
Track Changes
Click Team > Add on the project node. (This menu item may read Add to Index on recent versions of Egit)
(From the EGit docs:)
What I've found is that you need to make sure that your git repositories are showing up in the Eclipse Git Repositories
view.
- In the repositories view, you click on the [very] little Git icon with a green + (plus) sign to
Add and Existing Local Git Repository
. - Browse to the directory that already has a
.git
subdir and clickFinish
. You should then see you local repo show up in that list. - Then you can right click on the repo while still in the repositories view and add pull down to
Import Projects
. - "Import existing projects" is selected. Click Next.
- Your project should be checked off. Add it to a working set if necessary. Click Next (maybe Finish).
