I am using git to check in codes from eclipse and my project uses "SparkChat.jar" for it's chat feature. I modified the code for sparkchat a little and generated an updated SparkChat.jar, but when i tried checking in, git doesn't recognize that SparkChat.jar has been modified.
Is there anyway i can 'tell' git that SparkChat.jar is dirty and needs to be checked in?
Edit: To clarify, i am using EGit implementation in Java Eclipse, not command line.
Hit the Refresh button in the toolbar of the Git Staging or Git Repositories view to synchronize Eclipse with the changed files of the file system:
If it is a file in a project, a Refresh (F5) in the Project Explorer or Package Explorer should also work.
It seems, there is a bug (or intended "feature"?!?). You have to close and reopen Eclipse! :-( That's the only way with my Eclipse to see file system changes in the 'Git Repositories' Windows! :-((

I try to ignore a committed ".project" file on Eclipse EGit, without deleting it from my Eclipse project nor the repo.
I have this need :
the ".project" file of my Eclipse project must be committed at least
at the begining of the project, so that my co-workers can pull it
when they will "build" their Eclipse workplace
this file could be modified by any of us, but should not be pushed on GIT repo
this file must stay on GIT repo all the time, because a co-worker could have to get back the project at any time
we are working on Windows, so using command-line is a bit off-subject : I seek for help on Eclipse EGit
We are migrating from SVN to GIT : on SVN, we did not had this kind of problem, because we could not commit some files. On GIT, it seems that we have to commit everything we modify so that we do not have conflicts.
Can anybody help me ?
Thank you !
Right-click the file and choose Team > Advanced > Assume Unchanged.
See Eclipse Help - EGit Documentation - EGit User Guide - Reference:
Resources can be flagged "assume unchanged". This means that Git stops
checking the working tree files for possible modifications, so you
need to manually unset the bit to tell Git when you change the working
tree file. This setting can be switched on with the menu action
Team > Assume unchanged and switched back with the menu action Team > No Assume unchanged.
It should be noted that each co-worker must do this once. A server-side Git hook could reject commits changing .project if a co-worker had forgotten to do so.
Hello everybody I have this "big" and frustrating problem,
I have forked a project from git and as usual it is available in my account in GitHub. I then set up a project in eclipse selecting from an existing URI. All is ok, if I work with my own version of the project.
What I want to do is, because the project is changing and growing day by day, to have an updated copy from the original project and, every time I want to download any change I would like that the download is from the original project.
At the moment the only way (with EXTREMELY big problems) I found is using "Team > Fetch from Upstream" the changing the link to the repos using the "config" button. Obviously this lead to conflicts and annoying problems. I am sure that this is not the correct way to handle a forked repos and I need help.
I am using windows 7 and eclipse with egit, if I press Windows-R and then cmd it don't recognize the command "git" so I can't use console commands.
Any help?
With windows 7, you can install git to your machine and use console command as normal. (Link to download)
See this link to configure git to sync your fork with the original repo.
Hope this can help.
I had a Scala project, synchronized with GitHub. Then I had to reinstall my OS. I installed Eclipse and EGit, then imported the project from the remote location.
Now, when I make changes to the project, commit does nothing. It does not open the dialog which lets me enter a message and select files to commit. The files are still displayed as changed in the package explorer. I read somewhere that EGit logs errors to stdout, but when I start Eclipse from the command line, I see no errors logged.
If I try to push, I get asked for the passphrase for my ssh keys, and there is a window with a progress bar, but then the content of the remote repository does not change.
I am quite new to Git and don't know where to go further to diagnose the problem. What I did was to get into the Eclipse preferences and restore the defaults on preferences windows in the Git group. This didn't help.
One thing which I noticed is that the project itself is in the git directory, so when I make changes to the code and save, they get written there, not under the workspace directory of Eclipse. I don't know if this is relevant (maybe it can't write the changes to the local repository because there is no local repository copy to be updated?), but I didn't see a setting to change this location when I imported the project.
What can I do to troubleshoot this problem?
I have been using Egit and Eclipse together for well over a year. I recently upgraded my computer and had to reinstall everything. Previously whenever I would make a change to a file it would immediately get picked up by Egit and show with the red highlight and star next to the file name in the project explorer.
I have everything back up and running exactly as it was, however whenever I make a change the change is not picked up by Egit. I have to perform a 'git status' in order for the files to show as ready to be staged in the file explorer. Am I doing something wrong to have Egit automatically detect changed files and has anyone else had this problem?
which version of EGit are you using
do you get the egit team menu if you right-click any resource in your git tracked project ?
if not then you need to do "Team > Share > Git", then check "Use or create repository in
parent folder of project". If you are using a very recent nightly build version this
will be checked automatically.
when you modify a file tracked by (e)git a text decorator ">" should
appear in front of the modified file
as soon as you stage the modified file (Team > Add) the decorator should show the star
also the staging view should always show the git status for all modified files
You need to "Add to index" all files again probably
Track Changes Click Team > Add on the project node. (This menu item
may read Add to Index on recent versions of Egit)
(From the EGit docs:)
What I've found is that you need to make sure that your git repositories are showing up in the Eclipse Git Repositories view.
In the repositories view, you click on the [very] little Git icon with a green + (plus) sign to Add and Existing Local Git Repository.
Browse to the directory that already has a .git subdir and click Finish. You should then see you local repo show up in that list.
Then you can right click on the repo while still in the repositories view and add pull down to Import Projects.
"Import existing projects" is selected. Click Next.
Your project should be checked off. Add it to a working set if necessary. Click Next (maybe Finish).
I had a similar issue where all my changes just disappeared. Somehow, Eclipse had unselected my Git repository. Once I selected it again, they all came back.
If you have already added your files to Stage then change the branch it will ask you to commit/stash/reset
I faced the same problem. From your git repository view: Right-click -> Show in git staging
For me I have clicked Team --> Advanced --> No Assume Unchanged, fixed the issue
I faced the same problem using eclipse version 2021.12. Whenever I made changes on file, the eclipse didn't detect it.
I solve it by using Intelij IDE.
i just faced this problem by now, and i resolved by clicking in button Refresh in Git Staging:
I have installed EGit plugin on my Eclipse Helios SR2 Installation. I also have a initialize a GIT repository in one of my projects. But unlike SVN EGIT doesn't show me visiual indications when I make changes to the source code. Why is this happening? Even after the GIT repository is initialized and a commit is made there are no visual indications at all.
PS: I have used the Terminal to initialize the repository, add files and make the initial commit.
If you used the terminal, then you have to tell Eclipse, that the project is a Git project and should be managed by EGit. You can do that by right-clicking on the project, then select Team -> Share Project, choose Git, and in the following dialog check the box "use or create repository in parent folder of project". Then in the column "Repository" it should show you a path like "../.git". Now finish and you should be done.
