I'm having an issue with Eclipse and git tracking changes. Eclipse doesn't show any changes unless I disconnect from git and reconnect.
File Structure
ProjectA
src
backup.c
compare.c
So let's say I make a change to backup.c. I expect Eclipse to add the > symbol to indicate changes. This doesn't happen.
Refreshing the project does nothing.
Right-click backup.c > Compare With > HEAD Revision shows the changes.
On command line git status shows the backup.c as modified.
In order to try to fix this I tried to remove the project from Eclipse and then deleting the .project folder before creating a new project. No difference.
The following works and will add the > to indicate changes, however, it only refreshes once. If I make further changes to compare.c it does not show up and I again have to repeat the steps.
Right-click project > Team > Disconnect
Right-click project > Team > Share Project > Git
I'm out of ideas. How can I get Eclipse and git to work together? I'm running the latest version of Eclipse and Egit

One thing I forgot to mention is the Synchronize view in Eclipe does show the changes. So Eclipse can see the change, it just doesn't mark it properly in Project Explorer.

I added a git repository to my project and then I hit Team > Disconnect. How do I remove this repository completely? I'm trying to set up a new git repository on my project, but I keep getting an error message.
In Eclipse go to Window > Show View -> Other... Then select Git > Git Repositories. A view with all your Git repositories should now be visible. Right-click on the repository you want to remove and select Delete repository.
Eclipse will now ask for a confirmation and give you the option to remove all repository data.
In Eclipse Neon you can also delete a repository by hand (via the OS). In that case the repository will simply disappear in the Eclipse Git Repositories view. This is not recommended for older Eclipse versions!
If you just want to remove the repository from the Eclipse but not want to delete the data from your computer, follow these steps :
First switch to Git perspective (Window - > Open Perspective -> Other -> Search for Git)
In the Git Repositories section, right click your repository and select Remove Repository from View. This will prompt you to confirm if you want to remove the projects that are imported in Eclipse from this repository. Click Yes and you are done.
I am trying to move a project into my git repo, using Team -> Share Project -> Git, when I select the repo the error "Cannot move project x to target location...as this location overlaps with location..."
My workspace and repo are different folders (this seems to fix it for most people).
Which version of eclipse and egit plugin are you using?
For me on Kepler Service Release 2 and Egit 3.2.0 it works if I choose:
Team->Share Project->Git
and then tickbox Use or create repository in parent folder of project BUT then select the project folder . instead of the parent ..
In my case, there was a .project file inside the git repo. I just deleted it from the terminal. Then everything works perfectly. You can't access it with the GUI which is another reason why terminal is awesome!
Tried many options but they didn't work. I've posted an answer in another similar question which is a manual way to do it which will work with any Eclipse version, here is the link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41799215/578046
I got this error when attempting to bring in a new subproject into an existing parent project in a "split" workspace i.e. the default configuration using separate workspace and git folders.
The final workaround was different from others listed:
Delete the project from within Eclipse (choose default option: DO NOT delete on filesystem)
Use the system shell move the new subproject from the Workspace location into its proper place under the parent project in the git folder structure
In Eclipse, go to the the Git Repositories view, right-click the new project folder under Working Tree, and choose "Import Projects..." to reimport the project
Re-add the project to any Working Sets it needs to be part of
I encountered the same problem, and used the following steps to solve the problem:
1、Team --> Share Project...
2、Check Use or create repository in parent folder of project,and then Check Your project...
3、Click Create Repository
4、Click Finish
I had the same problem and realized that when i cloned the git repository i selected the "import all existing Eclipse projects after clone finishes" checkbox. So i removed my repository and cloned it again without the checkbox selected. Then i had no problem sharing a new Java project into my repository (because no .project file was created on the git folder)
I had the same problem, here's how I solved it:
Open The Git Repositories View:
Window -> Show View -> Other -> Git -> Git Repositories -> Open
Then Right Click YourRepositoryName in the Git Repositories View and Click Clean...
A Popup Window will open, Tick the .project file and Click Finish
Now when you try to use Team -> Share Project -> Git it should work.
If Clean... doesn't delete the .project file, you can also manually do it by opening the repository file system in the Git Repositories View and look for the .project file then Right Click the file and Click Delete
I just went to git folder using terminal and entered the command rm .project. The problem went away.
I had a similar error once, which was caused by the name of my folder containing spaces, e.g. "Joe Doe".
Moving the project to a place where it doesn't have any space in file path solved my problem.
I accidentally made a mess of and then deleted a java project from eclipse (more specifically, I accidentally moved the classes to a different project and then moved them back, and then deleted the project [from the file system] in eclipse), and now whenever I try to do team -> pull (after running ant -f ...), a window pops up saying that there's a checkout conflict with the files that were deleted. How do I get past this conflict and make pulling work again? I could create a new workspace, checkout everything into there again, and copy the code that I'm currently developing into that workspace, but there must be an easier way. Please educate this git n00b.
Open the "Git repositories" view (Ctrl 3 -> git repositories), right-click your project, select "reset".
In the following dialog, enter "HEAD" in the "Reset to (expression)" field and select Hard.
This will completly reset your workspace to pristine state.
Now, reimport your deleted project (File -> import... -> Existing project")
Now everything is back to the state before your "mess" and you can pull again.
my Mac is running:
Mavericks 10.9.3
subversion 1.8.9
subversion-javahlbindings 1.8.9
Eclipse Kepler SR2 with Subclipse 1.10
For some reason, when I'm working on a Project and go to Team > Commit
Subclipse will detect changes in existing files and allow me to commit, but it doesn't list added files.
In order to commit added files I have to use Team > Synchronise with Repository > Right-click on file tree > Commit
In the previous versions of svn/subclipse, added files were automatically picked up, and got committed straight from the Team > Commit dialog.
I've tried configuring Subclipse to use each oif the JavaHL and SVNKit options, but neither picks up newly added files.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?
In svn, new files must be explicitly added (using the svn add command) before they can be committed. Eclipse's Synchronize view does that for you, since it has shown you the files that need to be added and it presumes that you "approve" of the new ones. But using the Commit command directly is just calling svn commit without svn add, so the new files are not included.
When you create new files with other editor or copy/paste in finder, some times SVN doesn't detect.
You can try refresh the Eclipse project, just click in your project select "Team -> Refresh/Cleanup" from context menu, then the files will appear in Team Synchronizing View.
Works for me.
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:
