I recently updated from GitKraken 8.x to 11.x (it's been years since I installed it and never needed a new feature until now)
Now it seems that none of my changed files are being recognized by Git (both using git status/git diff, and in GitKraken), and even worse, when trying commands that helped other people, like
rm .git/index
git reset
In this answer
Or
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged path/to/file
and
git rm --cached path/to/file
git reset path/to/file
From this answer
They work once, then stop working for the next file change. This occurs in every file in my repo. Thus, I have to keep running these commands over and over again to see any changes.
Note that when checking in Atom (my text editor), it actually shows me the file changes via a green indicator next to the lines changed.
How do I "preserve" changes made to Git so that it can continuously detect file changes?
Support got back to me after 11 days and suggested I clear all my settings in ~\.gitkraken then restart the app - I did this, still bugged.
Then I ran the following from Why doesn't git recognize that my file has been changed, therefore git add not working and changes are recognized as expected!
rm .git/index
git reset
