Visual Studio：Git 团队资源管理器未显示任何更改

Question

When I first add a project to source control(GIT) it will show all of the files and everything will be peachy. I can continue to work for about 30mins-1hr and all of the changes show up(any file I make changes).

But after some period of time, it shows that no file is edited no matter how many changes I make. I just dont get it...I looked at the.gitignore file and I dont see any of the file types I'm working with so I don't get what the heck is going on.

I am working with a multi-tier MVC application so lots of C#, bunch of.cshtml and so on.

Tips? Google doesnt find anything. Here is the.gitignore file... I got the same issue as this dude...and he got no answer!

When I save a file with changes, its status automatically goes back to unchanged/committed (blue lock)

Answer 1

I found VS was holding an .opendb file open, causing a permissions clash when searching for changes. It reported the precise file that was causing the trouble in the Output window, under "Source Control - Git". Adding this to my .gitignore fixed the issue. If a VS restart or a reboot fixes the issue then you're probably closing the offending file handle -- in my case VS opened the problem file every time.

See also Visual Studio TFS Git not seeing any changes for more potential causes.

Answer 2

Rebooting my machine fixed it for me. Rebooting Visual Studio wasn't enough, but after rebooting the entire system the changes are now shown in Team Explorer.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, none of the above worked for me, but after some time, this was my solution:

1. Find your .git folder for your repository.
2. Locate and delete the 'index.lock' file inside.
3. Restart Visual Studio.

I am using Visual Studio 2017, but I hope this helps someone!

Answer 4

My Visual Studio "Source Control - Git" log kept complaining about a locked file from my SQL project. A .jfm file. Added it to .gitignore and then stuff worked.

So check your Git log when your solution shows no changes no matter what you change.

Answer 5

For me rebooting was not necessary. Simply closing and reopening the Solution works. Whenever that trick doesn't work, restarting Visual Studio works.

Unlike Eclipse IDE, Visual Studio doesn't provide a Restart menu item. I need to install an Extension to do this.

Answer 6

For what it's worth, I didn't have to reboot VS2015 or my machine to get my changes to appear. I simply disconnected from the source control, and reconnected, and it saw the changes then.

Answer 7

In my scenario, I was working on my local project and simultaneously I have cloned the project in different directory. When I was trying to clone in my current working project, it was somehow connecting to other folder. I opened git bash for my current project and could see, branch is not associated. When I opened cloned project, i could see the branch associated. So in VS, I opened the cloned repo and added my project, I was able to see my changes in Team Explorer, Changes

Answer 8

如果您使用的是 Git 扩展，请重新安装并重新启动 Visual Studio 2015，它解决了我的问题。

Answer 9

Make sure your files are not encrypted. I was using Windows workfolders and new files are encrypted. Git in VS is unable to see them.

Answer 10

By default Visual Studio stores "C:\Users\UserName\Source\Repos" as the "Default Location" of Git files. Once we change the "Default Location" to root folder of our Git projects and restart Visual Studio, it works.

Visual Studio >> Tools >> Options >> Source Control >> Git Global Settings >> Update the "Default Location" with right path of Git Project.

After making the change, make sure to restart Visual Studio.
