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

If you're using Git Extensions, Reinstall and restart your Visual Studio 2015, it solved my problem.

Answer 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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
