I'm currently facing a persistent issue with staging changes using Git. No matter which commands I try, I keep getting the same output when I check git status. The output consistently looks like this:
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: src/components/ChipButton.jsx
modified: src/components/Layout.jsx
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
I've ensured that I'm in the correct repository directory, and I've attempted various commands, including git add -A, git add ., and git add -u. However, the changes in the mentioned files (src/components/ChipButton.jsx and src/components/Layout.jsx) refuse to stage.
I've also verified that these files are not listed in the .gitignore file.
Despite referring to online resources and trying different approaches, I've been unable to move past this roadblock. I appreciate your patience and apologize for any confusion in my previous questions where I included images.
Could you kindly provide guidance on how to proceed?
Maybe the project includes files whose names differ only in case, and your local copy of the repository is in a case-insensitive filesystem? In that case git would expect, say Layout.jsx and layout.jsx, to have distinct contents, but in your repository they would be a single common file (so can't match git's expectation for both). The fix would be to rename the files upstream or clone to a case-sensitive filesystem.
