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 am using Eclipse Neon for Github, to be able to push changes.
I already have a Github account and made a specific repository just for trying, but nothing ends up in the repository, though I follow guides and do exactly the same without getting any errors, but ending up with an empty Github repository (except for the Readme file that I created along with the repository at the website).
I've made several Java Projects with a simple main method, and a method for just writing a dummy message, simple, but doesn't exist in repository.
Then I right click the project, select Team -> Share Project and select:
Repository: NewGit - /home/jannik/NewGit.git, working tree: /home/jannik/NewGit and Path within repository: dummy and click my dummy project and press finish.
Now I right click my project again and choose Remote -> Push and choose the default option called Configured remote repository which says origin: https://github.com/< my-github-account>/eclipseTest.git which tells me that it links to my repository named eclipseTest (which I made on website).
I then press Next and press *Add all Branches spec and clicks next, and then Finish. I then get a dialog saying that Master and NewGit branches are up-to-date, though my dummy project is missing.
If I try the Commit option in Eclipse, I get an error saying that there're no staged files
What am I doing wrong?
Before being able to push anywhere, you need to add and commit first.
See "EGit/User Guide/Commit" for adding and committing.
Its Track Changes sections shows how to add files to the index.
Click Team > Add to Index on the project node. (This menu item is named Add on older versions of Egit.)
Then:
Click Team > Commit in the project context menu.
Finally, you can push.
go to >Theam > commit >
you will get the changed list of files and in those you can move changed files to staged changes block and then commit.
See this image you can find the solution:
No matter what I do, Eclipse (EGit) doesn't display the changes. I've searched a lot for this issue, but cannot solve it. A friend of mine has the same issue. In the past everything worked fine, but from one day to the other the issue occured.
When I hit Team > Synchronize Workspace, only the dialog "Synchronizing Git: No changes found." appears. When I choose Team > Advanced > Synchronize, the same happens.
I also installed a new Eclipse (with a fresh Windows) and issue was still there. With my Ubuntu notebook everything is fine.
Does anybody have the same issue? Is there a solution? I also tried to install the plugins mentioned in this answer, but it didn't work for me.
Update
Eclipse also displays incoming changes (after fetching from upstream) and the changed files (with an arrow), but the synchronize view still doesn't show the changes.
Update 2 I've tested a project from Github and there everything works as apected. What could be the difference between these two projects? I've checked the repository settings and they are equal. Could the authentication cause the issues? Like I've said, the project works fine on my Ubuntu machine.
I've tried the new EGit, re-cloning the project and nothing worked except this:
In the Synchronize view, click on the dropdown arrow next to Synchronize button, then select "Synchronize...".
In the dialog that appears choose Git, press Next.
Then the crucial part - select destination to be HEAD for your repository and check "Include local uncommitted changes in comparison".
Click Finish.
I used to have the same problem but upgrading to EGit 2.2 seems to have taken care of it. Things are now consistent between "git status" at command line and "Team / Synchronize Workspace" in Eclipse.
You can get EGit from here or you can add the update site http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-2.2 to Eclipse.
Latest Egit Update Site:
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
Before you can synchronize your workspace, you need to do a "fetch" from the remote repository (Team -> Fetch from Upstream) to get all the incoming changes into your local repository. Afterwards you can synchronize them.
If you don't want to make two clicks for synchronizing, you can enable "Always launch fetch before synchronisation" in Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Synchronize.
Staged ChangesThis has worked for me :
Whenever you made any changes. Right click on your Project name then Go to Team and click on "Add to Index". Now again Right click on your Project Name then Go to Team and click on "Commit". Now You will see that Git Staging console has been opened and the changes you have made are started displaying in Staged Changes box.
We were strugeling with the same problem. It turned out that we had to remove all options in Git->Synchronize preferences.
We are using Eclipse Juno and Kepler. Removing the options solved the problem for both.
If it helps anyone, I ran into the same problem.
During synchronization, in repository selection, the option Include local uncommitted changes in comparison is not checked and shows No changes found in the Synchronize view. Synchronizing with that option checked, shown the changes.
Eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) - MacOS
When I right click on a project and select commit it does not show the repository URL of where the commit is going in the commit window, which can be pain for developers. Is there a way to enable this?
Above the project I can see a path along the lines of https://repos.domain.com/repos, Trunk:trunk
Unfortunately this is not always accurate. For example when I am on a branch called MyBranchand select Team > Branch it makes the new branch within the MyBranch branch folder, instead of creating it within the branches folder. I've made this mistake a few times but by my project it will tell me:
https://repos.domain.com/repos, Branch:newBranch
when the path is https://repos.domain.com/repos/project/branches/MyBranch/NewBranch instead of https://repos.domain.com/repos/project/branches/NewBranch
Is there a way to improve on this level of accuracy?
Perhaps, Subclipse would be a better option.
Here's a screen shot of the Subclipse commit window on Eclipse 3.7. The Subversion directory is right at the top of the window.
Looks like Properties > SVN info. I didn't about this and was looking for something within the team menu. I'll leave the question open incase there is a way to view the full repository path next to the project.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo SR2 with the (built-in) EGit plugin v.1.3.0.201202151440-r and haven't been able to find any way to easily review all my changes before making a commit.
I used Eclipse with SVN for years, and this was always very easy to do. I would typically right-click on my project, select Team->Synchronize, double-click on the first changed file (in the Team Sync perspective), then hit Ctrl-. repeatedly to review all changes in one file, and then proceed to the next file, as I wrote a summary of my changes for the commit message.
But of course, git is very different from Subversion, and so my workflow must change. With EGit, "Team Sync" only appears to be useful for reviewing changes between my local files and the remote repository (i.e. before a push to the remote). I need a way to review changes since my last commit to my local repository. I generally don't even care to (re)review changes before a push to remote (and if I did, I'd prefer a simple equivalent of git log to see what commits I'm about to push).
If I right-click on my project and select Team->Commit, I am presented with a window that does almost everything I need to do (select files to stage, commit, write a commit message, amend a previous commit, etc.). What it doesn't allow me to do is quickly and easily review all my changes in a compare editor. I can't believe this capability doesn't exist! It seems I am required to double-click on each individual file, review the changes, close the compare editor, and double-click on the next file. That's ridiculous!
TL/DR - I am looking for a simple GUI equivalent (in Eclipse) to do what I am easily able to do from the command line using git vimdiff (where vimdiff is a git alias that uses vimdiff as the "difftool" to cycle through all modified files) followed by git commit (with perhaps a git add or two in between).
If no one has a good solution, I am curious about how others handle their commit workflow with EGit. I've been getting along fine committing from the command line (not that Eclipse is happy about that) but I can't believe that EGit is as near-useless as it seems to me. Perhaps my google-fu is not as strong as it once was?
Says here that you can see the diffs between the working tree and any given reference. Perhaps you should try out the latest version (Juno) of Eclipse/EGit and see if it's gotten any better?
Update: I've tried this out in the latest Eclipse, and as far as I can see it works fine. Here's how:
In the moment of writing this, Eclipse Juno 4.2 is the version you should go for. On the download page, you can pick between several packages according to your needs. The 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' comes bundled with EGit, but you can also install EGit into any distribution using the Eclipse Marketplace (under the Help menu).
Once you've imported your project into Eclipse, make sure the project is "shared":
Right-click project -> Team -> Share Project.. -> Git
Now do the following:
Switch to the Team Synchronizing Perspective.
Click the little synchronize button in the Synchronize View.
Choose Git
Pick a suitable branch to sync against, like refs/remotes/origin/master
Make sure to check the "Include local uncommitted changes in comparison" box
Click Finish
Now, change some files and watch them appear in the Synchronize View. Double-click the changed files to see the diff (like in the screenshot below).
Are you aware of the 'Git Staging' view. It keeps track of all the files that have changed and you can review the changes any time. (This can be a bit better than using the commit dialog)
An alternative is to commit all changes without reviewing, and then use the history view to compare two commits (Simply select the last top most commits, right click and select 'Compare with each other'). This way you do not have to keep double clicking individual files. If you need to change something you can always 'Amend' the last commit. (I usually follow this approach)
I am writing this as of Eclipse Oxygen, but it should apply to other versions as well.
Option 1 with team synchronizing view: right click the project > Compare with > Commit. You can choose your latest commit here, even if you haven't pushed it to repository.
Option 2 with diff view: If you want to see the "diff" version without committing, you can achieve this by right clicking your project > team > stashes > Stash Changes > check Include untracked files. This will save all of your changes to a stash. Then you will right click project > team > stashes > select stash you saved. You click the green arrow at the top right to re-apply all of your changes you stashed back to your code. In the same stash window, you will see a "Diff" tab at the bottom right. Clicking on the diff tab will show your changes in the red/green highlighted diff style. I wish there was a way to generate a diff view without stashing, but this is the only work-around I have found.
I recently switched from Subclipse to Subversive for SVN integration in Eclipse, and I'm having trouble creating a branch of my source code.
I've tried a few different variations of my method, but they all led me to the same roadblock. Basically, here's what I'm trying to do.
Navigator pane
Right-click on project folder (want to branch the whole thing)
Team > Branch
In the Location field, browse to select the /branches folder in my repository
Add the branch name to the path field, i.e. "/testbranch" (not pictured)
The dialog then looks like this, and I can't continue.

What am I doing wrong here? Why can't I create this branch? If nothing else, can it at least be confirmed that I'm following the right process, and it's something about my environment or configuration that's stopping the branch from being created?
I found that SVN is very particular with the SVN connectors. If you connected and downloaded SVN code with one connector and then switched to a different connector when you started using Subversive, you'll definitely have problems.
I've had unexplained Subversive problems in the past and they've almost always tracked back to different connector usage. The solution for me was to reset all of my local SVN code. I deleted everything local and rechecked out all of my code. Everything appeared to be fine after that.
I hope this helps.
I don't consider this a proper solution, but it's at least got me working again. Instead of running a branch operation, I created a new folder inside my branches folder, and then copied the contents of the trunk folder into it. I was then able to switch to my new "branch".
Make sure you do not have any uncommited changes, and then do a Team>cleanup. Also make sure you are branching from the trunk and that you do not have any mixed version. For example you can have a folder below the root be from another branch while the rest of the project is from trunk. This will cause the branch creation to fail. When having issues with branches from the navigator, try reverting the project (right click choose team>revert) several times. Then execute the cleanup several times.
Also you may consider creating the branch from the SVN Repositories view. From this view right click on the location you want to branch from (ie truck) and select New>branch from the context menu. One last step is from the navigator view you will need to swtich your project to the newly created brancn: right click on the project root and select Team>switch from the context menu
