Cloning A Repo Through Github Desktop Causes All Files To Be Untracked

How To Clone A Repository Using Github Desktop Github desktop does not seem to be playing well with git cli as i am getting hundreds of untracked files when cloning a repo. when i do a diff i don't see any differences but git seems to think all lines of all files are different somehow. I just installed git (2.9.3) for windows (10), then i opened git bash and did a git clone . a new folder is created with the whole copy of the remote repository, which is good.

Cloning A Repository From Github To Github Desktop Github Docs Make sure you create a new repo (git init, git clone) only in your project folder. for example, you create a new folder on your desktop: you go into the folder: then you create a new local git repo: now everything in this folder will by tracked by git (unless you use .gitignore). yip that's exactly what i did. it's all sorted out now. Even if you haven't tracked the files so far, git seems to be able to "know" about them even after you add them to .gitignore. run the following commands from the top folder of your git repo. note: commit your current changes, or you will lose them. git rm r cached . you made a mistake in last commit, you can fixed doing this:. A file that doesn't exist in the current commit (head) and is not "staged" using git add and is not matched by .gitignore, will appear as untracked. so either they got created by some program in the user's environment, or they switched to a commit that doesn't contain those files. From within github desktop, if you have changed files that you wish to ignore, you can right click on such files and select "ignore this file". you can also use the menu repository > repository settings and edit the .gitignore file from the ignore files section of the dialog.

To avoid this error, when cloning, always copy and paste the clone url from the repository's page. for more information, see cloning a repository. to update the remote on an existing repository, see managing remote repositories. So i am cloning a repository from gerrit and some files are missing and git returns that "all files are up to date" when i git pull. when i tried to browse master's files in git gui and i do not see the missing files there either. After cloning my repository from github more or less all files are marked as "changed". i suspect it has to do with line endings since no changes are visible in the desktop application. When i committed one file (index ) i noticed my whole computer (my desktop, my documents, etc) all in untracked files. i deleted the repository and i want to remove all the untracked files, obviously without deleting everything from my computer.
