Visual Studio: Git Team Explorer does not show any changes

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 change

Answer 1

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!
