Can't commit changes to local git repository

Question

I have created a new project and checked the \"create a local git repository\" option. I opened the organizer to check that there is a repository for my project and it was there

Answer 1

For what it's worth (and as @Jahelia's comment mentions), this seems to be a bug in XCode 4.2 when it first engages with git. The workaround seems to be to at least close Xcode and reopen. (If that doesn't work, try opening and closing the organizer.)

I encountered this myself today when trying out Git with Xcode for the first time. I created two demo projects with the "create a local git repository" option and they had the same problem. I was able to commit from the organizer window, but the main Xcode file view didn't seem to recognize git at all.

After quitting and restarting, I created a third demo with the git option, and the main window recognized the changes (after building) right off the bat - i.e showed the "M" beside a modified file.
