Today GitHub for Windows has suddenly forgotten all repositories on my pc. Has anyone seen anything like this? (It is the latest version, running on Win7 pro.)
It turned out to be a bug in GitHub for Windows. At the moment I do not have more details, but I have information about how to fix it if someone else needs that. (I hope the problem will soon be gone.)
Update: To avoid confusion I add the info I got here:
To resolve this, you can go to %LocalAppData%\GitHub and delete the cache.db file located there. GitHub for Windows will recreate that file, and this should get things working again. You'll need to add your repositories again, though. You can drag-and-drop them in, or use the 'scan for repositories' button in the options menu.
Just dragging the folders from explorer to the Github window will add them back.

The view within sourcetree has to be manually updated by hitting F5 as of version 3.3.6.3829. I attempted to raise this as a bug on https://jira.atlassian.com/, but the form doesn't give me a correct option for version with 3.2 being the most up to date version available. If someone can point me to the correct place to raise this bug, it would be much appreciated.
This happened to me and the only way was to reinstall SourceTree 3.2.1, at least until the refresh bug gets fixed by Atlassian. I can't complain, it's a great tool and it's free, but this was annoying. I'm always a little apprehensive upgrading software I make, much less someone else's!
Here is the download page you can install older versions, I suggest 3.2.1, which works great! https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives
Following up: I'm on Windows and at least in my instance to get it to work all I did was:
Close SourceTree
Download 3.2.1 from the link above
Run the installer
Then I opened SourceTree and it reverted the version back by itself and I haven't had any issues since. I hope this helps!
The installer may be at fault. I found that my Source Tree short cuts didn't point to the correct "start in" folder. I thought correcting that has fixed the refresh problem, but I was wrong.
Yesterday, I decided I wanted to upload all of my old crappy work. It is back when I was just starting programming and just wanted to show people it. I have never used git (very bad decision in my part) and created a repository. I downloaded the windows client and the egit eclipse plugin. I used the egit plugin but it just moved everything to a Oder and made it a local repository. I then used the windows client to submit a commit. It was taking a while so I left it on and went to sleep. I woke up this morning and everything was deleted except the folder names, .gitignore files and .project files from eclipse. Is there anyway I can get this old work back.
Thanks!
At the root folder of your project, run gitk from the Git Bash and you'll see your changes.
I have found a solution here: https://www.quora.com/Git-revision-control/How-do-I-retrieve-added-files-but-not-committed-from-a-reset?share=1
Basically you can retrieve the files from blobs but you have to do this one by one. I am writing a program to do so automatically now.
Is there any other easier way though?
If so, I would be glad to know.
Edit: Oh my I completely forgot about the previous versions tab on Windows. I'm just doing that.
Thanks!
I was hoping that someone could help me figure out where the option to change / add a contributor to my netbeans 7.2.1 for github. I have seen online places and questions for 7.1.2 but those did not work for me.
Change Git commiter in Netbeans
I had netbeans set up properly on my windows 8 computer. One day I decided to separate my computer into two users. One for work and one for play (less distractions). Unfortunately when I did this and set up my github in netbeans it now told me that I was now Guest_2 (The old name of the windows user account).
I have looked in templates which it seems to be where most answers lead me to but I don't have the options in Options that they have in their answers. I tried modifying Git.properties and just adding name=(my git hub name) and on another line email=(my git hub email) but it still just sends my commits as Guest_2.
I have tried going to Tools>Options>Miscellaneous>Versioning> General & Git but neither one has anything I could see about changing author/contributor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated for I know I'm just tired and that I've overlooked something very simple.
I am getting the above error when launching a python file that worked in the past. I think I know how this happened but not sure how to fix it. I have 2 computers dual booting different os and use dropbox to stay synced between them all. In the past I synced my eclipse workspace with my mac and windows computers this way and everything worked fine(except I would have to change the location of the python interpreter depending on what system I was using).
I started getting the above message after I added a linux(fedora) to share dropbox files. But my problem is now when I try to update my python interpreter(in windows) it doesn't save my setting. I can hit autoconfig and it'll find the python path and all the files and I hit apply/okay, but when I go back its all blank. I'm pretty sure the linux machine messaged my settings up, but I need to develop on all 3 boxes so I need them to be kind of synced.
Wondering how to fix this and if there's another way to do this so I don't have this problem in the future?
update: this def. has something to do with my workspace. When I change the default workspace to a new folder and set the python interpreter it works. Still not sure how to permanently fix this(don't want to have to copy code back and forth to new workspaces.
I think an answer of how to share workspace among other enviroments is still very helpful but if anyone is having a simlair problem and just needs to fix it to work quickly here's the solution:
go to File, switch workspaces and figure out where your workspace is located
Go to that folder and rename the .metadata folder and relaunch eclipse
In eclipse everything will be missing, so go to file-->import and import the folder with all your projects(do the root folder of all the projects so you don't have to import each one individually).
setup any customizations you had before
This is not the best solution but it works. Hopefully someone else has a way of preventing this problem from happening in multiple environments.
It seems the preferred way is through F9: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_launch.html
eclipse run as same as what it run last time.
then first time run in this way.
in package explorer (left).
doubleclick res then menu.
then rightclick main menu (name.xml).
frmo menu select run then run as application.
and you can run as default in next time(from menu or shortcut).
This problem can often be solved by exiting out of eclipse and restarting (if that happens to be convenient for you). Changing workspaces midstream can often confuse Eclipse even if PyDev is correctly configured.
Is it possible to activate full autocompletion without having the file added to a project?
Maybe with a plugin or any another modification?
I installed the plugin "remote file systems" for netbeans 6.9.1 (php)
(http://www.stoehrer.net/downloads/remotefs/nb-remotefs-0.1.3.zip) to access my linux server over ssh on my windows machine.
Autocompletion doesn't work with it - the files have to be in a netbeans project :(
I also tried the mounting tool "dokan" but sometimes it destroys a file when I save.
Other mounting tools work less well or just show my home folder.
Sorry for my english and thx for your answer.
coudnt solve the problem that way
so i used samba and add the files to a netbeans project
wasnt easy because for some reason
i have to use the ip path ("\\192.168.xx.xxx" and type my smbuser and the password)
to map the drive in windows
on my other pc i didnt need that. dont know why
bye guys
There is an open bug, or as they have called it, the umbrella issue #135222, to aggregate requests and ideas regarding how to
Improve support for editing files that do not belong to a project.
I have just added the suggestion of somehow allowing to define a classpath for files that don't belong to any project. I hope I can soon update this answer with a "there is a better way..." ;-)
