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

I've experienced and recovered from this.

I can't tell you what causes it but, notably, in the "Repositories" view in my Organiser, I had TWO similarly-named repositories. What differed about them was the case of one of the paths.

One was "~/Work/Code/Bumhole" and the other "~/work/Code/Bumhole".

I caused the problem by XCode crashing during a commit to the repository (of many changes).

I fixed the problem by

• closing the offending project
• closing Xcode
• rebooting
• reopening Xcode
• (close the project if its open)
• open the Organiser view
• Select the "bad" repository and delete it with backspace
• Navigate the remaining "good" repository until you see the .xcodeproj file
• Double click the .xcodeproj file to open the project

I expect this list is a superset of the steps needed to fix the problem, but this worked for me.
