PhpStorm Git keeps saying: no changes detected

Question

I tried to work with PhpStorm and Git. I have previous experience using NetBeans and I didn\'t have any problem with G

Answer 1

I ended up going to the VCS menu and selecting something like "Enable Version Control Integration".

PHPStorm has a lot of these little stupid design failures, unfortunately.

Answer 2

Had the same problem recently, webstorm didn't detect changes and color of the file that I was changing turned to greenish. If VCS | Refresh File Status solves your problem temporarily, and after you make changes again, still you have the same problem, then check Preferences | Version Control | Ignored Files. In my case all files were ignored somehow, after removing it, it works properly.

Answer 3

Years later, same problem here. I admit I'm not yet an open source expert and come from an MS background, enthusiastic about broadening my horizons! But I know something is not right with the Git integration in this program.

Anyway, luckily recreating the project is incredibly easy. (I'm using PyCharm but it looks like a close copy of PHPSTorm) In doing so, I noticed that when I change the default path for the .Git repository, this problem happens.

When I keep the default path for the .Git files, things seem to work as intended.
