TortoiseGit doesn't add files automatically
Make sure the Show Unversioned Files
is checked. See:
For your second problem, go Settings/Git/Credential
and try to use manager
helper. Also see A: TortoiseGit save user authentication / credentials
Make sure you don't have a rule in your .gitignore file that might be excluding files unexpectedly. For example here I have localhost.pfx set to be ignored but the right-click context menu still allows me to add it to a commit:
On similar issue:
I wanted the Windows Explorer to show git folder as changed (red color) when a new file is added.
Below worked:
> Tortoise > Settings > Icon Overlays
> check the box "Unversioned files mark parent folder as modified"
> Apply & OK
> Restart computer (since it is explorer extension it is not working without restart)
Hope that helps.
