Git 存储库文件夹未出现在文件资源管理器中

Question

Using GitHub Dekstop, I cloned one of my own repositories to my computer, and I named the folder repo :

C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\DevFiles\repo

Now if I navigate to the parent folder DevFiles , the repository folder repo is not visible.

But if I just paste C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\DevFiles\repo into the URL bar, the folder opens like normal.

Why might this be?

Answer 1

This is a problem caused by onedrive .

On my Windows PC, OneDrive, which creates a backup of every file on the system, was active. I was trying to access the repo from

C:\Users\Lenovo\OneDrive\Desktop\DevFiles\repo

which is where File Explorer will go by default if I search for DevFiles .

GitHub Desktop had stored the repo in

C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\DevFiles\repo

Not in the \OneDrive\ folder.

This is extremely confusing, especially since cloning more repositories had the same problem.
