Using: Windows 10, Github Desktop, Git 2.19.1.windows.1(64bit), VisualStudio VSTS Background: Managed to add the repository I had in my machine, but I can't do anything with it.

I'm using Github Desktop (previously called GitHub for Windows ) and I made a bunch of changes to my local files. It became such a mess that I decided I just want to rollback my local files to where they were the last time I made a commit. I haven't committed the new changes - I just want to get rid of them. How can I do this?

The file naaclhlt2016.tex is not empty on the client or in the repository, however GitHub Desktop displays "This file is empty". What could explain this? The file naaclhlt2016.tex is present on GitHub repository: git status : It creates conflict when I try to sync: After discussion, if the change of the tex file is only in term of metadata (and not actual file content change, after a latex recompilation), the GitHub Desktop might be unable to display any change.

ProblemsOfSumit On Mac OSX: for everyone having this problem with the latest version: Select the branch that you want to delete, go to "Branch" -> "Delete Branch" On

I'm using Git in a team of three to build an iOS app. For this project we are all Mac and Xcode based and have a variety of different ways of using Git: within Xcode, using Github Desktop, and from the Bash terminal. I am confused about the history I am seeing in GitHub desktop - it is linear and appears to be all from one developer. I can use the terminal command git log --since='2016-05-06' --pretty=format:"%h %an %cd" --graph to see the last few days' commits: I can clearly see that the last twelve commits are spread between all three contributors. But it does not look like this in
