Git newbie here. Using Xcode 4.3.2. Had to move my project file directory. Commit still works fine but when I do a git push, I get Everything up-to-date, which is incorrect.
How do I get back on track?
Thanks
Check also if you are not in a DETACHED HEAD mode.
That happens if you checkout a tag or a file (see git checkout illustration in gotgit):
That was the case for the XCode question "Git (no branch) in xcode"
When you moved the project directory, did you move the .git folder with it? An easy way to check is to run git log and see if all of your previous commits are still there.
If you moved the .git folder with the rest of the files, then your remotes would still be setup correctly.
If it really isn't hooked up for some weird reason, try running git remote show origin and check to make sure that the url is correct and everything.

I am running one iOS/Swift project in Xcode 14.1. Git showing project.pbxproj file modified. A few days back I merged some branches and pushed the changes. The branch is working for others but causing an issue for me. Even I did not modify any file after the push. I want to discard this local change. Please help me.
I tried to remove the changes with help of the following commands.
1. $git checkout .
2. $git clean -d -f
The change is disappear for a second after executing git checkout . but again shows the same changes after some time. After running the checkout terminal show the *Updated 1 path from the index* message. I tried to discard changes from the source tree but after refreshing it again showed modify.
Git difference is showing same file is added and deleted on same folder location.
I tried all the ways mentioned here
How do I discard unstaged changes in Git?
But does not work anything for me.
My Solution:
Solution 1:
I deleted the repo and took a fresh clone.
Update
Found another solution also, most of the time it works for me but in case it does not work for you go for the first solution.
Step 1:
Quite the Xcode
Step 2:
Discard the project file changes from either terminal using git checkout . or any UI tool.
Step 3:
Open your Xcode project. Hopefully, you will not get project file changes.
I have two remote repositories. One is private (Bitbucket) and the other public (Github). I had been pushing changes to Bitbucket using Github app and then pushing the same commit to Github repo using Xcode. However, recently I have been unable to PUSH the commits to Github and using SourceTree I get this error message:
This repository is configured for Git LFS but 'git-lfs' was not found on your path. If you no longer wish to use Git LFS, remove this hook by deleting .git/hooks/pre-push.
This is how it looks from within SourceTree:
How can I get my Github repo to accept the most recent commits?
You have a pre-push hook which is telling you that you have git-lfs (large file support) enabled for this repository, but that it can't find the git-lfs program on your computer. The solution is to either remove the hook (which is located in .git/hooks/pre-push, as the error message says), or to fix your PATH so that it can find the git-lfs program.
It would have been enough to say that the .git directory is in the original local directory of your repository and you probably need a program like TextWrangler or similar, that shows the hidden files starting with a dot, to be able to see it and delete it by moving it to the trash (right click mouse). It took me one hour to figure out this. I hope no one else have to waste that time.
Here is the instructions for removing the pre-push file using Mac Terminal:
First: cd to the directory that is your local repository for your project. (The main folder that holds .xcodeproj and other files) The .git file is hidden but you can still access it by typing cd .git/hooks in terminal. If you type ls in terminal to view all files within the current directory, you'll notice the pre-push file. Type rm pre-push to remove the file. You should now be able to push to your remote repository. Just be sure to cd .. back a few times to your local directory for your project. Simple as that.
I've just updated my Xcode from 6 to 7 (and code from Swift 1.2 to Swift 2.0) and try to create new branch in Xcode. After that I can't push my code to Bitbucket.
Is there a way how can I delete repository from directory and setup Bitbucket again and maybe push to another (a new one) repository? Fix of this problem will be great, but I will be satisfied even with move to another repository.
I had this error in xcode 7.1 on a year old project that was working fine. In my case I have a project with the default local repository created by xcode. For anyone who is not going to re-install and re-setup. It is possible to find out what the dangling command is and fix it from command line.
To find the dangling command Open Terminal from the project directory:
xcrun git status
In my case the status returned:
On branch master
You are currently rebasing.
(all conflicts fixed: run "git rebase --continue")
To fix the problem I used:
xcrun git rebase --skip
In my case I ran git status which revealed that You are currently bisecting. (I was doing a bisect and must had forgotten to reset). I did a git bisect reset and attached the head to my latest commit and it was all fine afterwards.
When I am merging from currentBranchA into branchB, I got conflicts,I didn't want to solve the conflicts immediately and quit the merging process. But when I try to merge again, the Xcode shows "The working copy is currently in the middle of another operation..."
I opened the terminal ，cd to the project directory, and check the git status:
git status
it shows:
On branch currentBranchA
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/currentBranchA'.
All conflicts fixed but you are still merging.
(use "git commit" to conclude merge)
Just do it as it says. Continue to input
git commit and click Ctrl + C to close the commit message window.
The problem will be zero.
The problem was with installation of GitHub. I had a master repository. After reinstall and resetup everything works like before.
EDIT: For anyone who has a problem with Xcode and GIT I have a best advice. Don't use it. Use for example Source Tree
When you start developing for a living, you are gonna have to use more reliable solution for GIT. Imagine you have 70 branches. Using Source Tree you can easily solve conflicts and other things about working in team. Xcode GIT solution is not reliable and you are gonna be only frustrated.
I'm at a point where I realized I took some actions that were the equivalent of entering a cave without a flashlight. Hopefully this retelling of events will contain an indication of what went wrong.
I began at my project's master branch. I performed a git pull from the remote master (to make sure I had the most recent build), then a git checkout -b newFeature. With this newFeature branch, I made some changes, including adding a 700mb .mp4 file. I then committed my changes with git commit -a -m "New features and a big mp4 file..." I never pushed the changes to the remote. Made some more changes, decided I didn't want them, so I did a git stash at the end of the day.
This morning, I switched to master branch, where I did a git/status. I noticed my local master branch was now ahead of the remote master, which was odd because they should have been exactly the same. I also noticed that when I built my iOS app (from master, NOT newFeature) that the app size was 700mb bigger than it should have been.
Now this part is where I started panicking, so I apologize if the order of events is not completely accurate...
I saw that my .mp4 file was an unstaged file after running git status.
I tried to do a git reset HEAD <file>, which seemed to remove the file, but it still showed up in my builds.
I then tried git rebase, but never got through it because I seemed to hit a loop where all git rebase --continue did was end up at the same place over and over, so I aborted (I've never done a rebase before).
Giving up, I deleted all of my local files (or at least I think I did), restarted my computer (you never know), cloned everything from GitHub... and my builds are still including the large mp4 file.
I cannot seem to find the mp4 file, though it is clearly there when I build the app. I never pushed it to the remote, not that it would have let me anyway due to GitHub's restraints.
Any solutions, bread crumbs, or whatever would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
EDIT:
I attempted to go back to the build before I ever made the newFeature branch using git reset --hard , still no luck, as my project will still build with the mp4 file.
Perhaps I could find where this mp4 file is store locally? I can not find it in my project folder.
SOLVED:
See my answer below... long story short, I needed to Clean my build in Xcode (Cmd-shift-K) to remove the MP4 from the build folder.
Try git clean to remove any extra files. You should also check the logs of your build system to find out where this file is getting included.
Of course it's something I should have done right from the get-go. I've read before, "Before building your project, do a Clean on your build" (Cmd-Shift-K in Xcode). After running a disk report on my drive (using JDiskReport), I found the mp4 file cached in Xcode's DerivedData folder in my Library folder. Doing a Clean on the build removed the file from this folder, and no other future builds included it.
I guess I never ran across a time when not performing a Clean was really evident. When I was restarting Xcode, I wrongly assumed any sort of cache clearing would be done then.
So turns out this wasn't a problem with git directly, but with Xcode. I'm not sure if it should be the correct behavior or not, but I will now be run a Clean whenever switching between branches.
I have just recently backed-up my XCode C++ project on my pendrive, using
rsync -avu
Since then, the version control for my project is grayed-out on every files, I can modify the files and not see the "M" nor the "A" sign. The only files still having version-control working "shared" files for which it works correctly. (Those shared files belong to a different project called "Shared").
I have tried git commit -m, git add . and even git init where the files were. Nothing worked.
Can you please help restoring version control for my project?
UPDATE:
Answers for the questions in commens (and answers):
my git repository is on my local hard drive.
I went to the Organiser-repository pane in XCode and I see my recent git commit -m "sth" as "sth" az a commit. I have a single branch: master.
Im not sure what command would be good to test git, as my commits work (theoretically).
I have a folder named .git in the project folder.
git log is working, showing the same as XCode Organiser-repository pane.
I think the XCode just can't synchronise with the git for some reason, and I don't know how to correct that.
First off, this is not an answer that will fix your problem, I just try to provide some help that might get you closer to a diagnosis.
Git stores its files in a folder named .git. Check if this folder is present in your project. If it's not then your Git repository is gone.
Next, try some basic command such as git log. For this to work, you must first cd to your project folder (or a subfolder thereof), because whenever you run a Git command it will look for the .git folder in the cwd or a parent folder. If git log does not work then your Git repository is broken in some way. Someone else will have to step in to further diagnose the problem, as I am no expert on this subject.
Finally, you should also check whether your rsync command has really sync'ed your project's .git folder with the backup's .git folder. Use this command:
diff -rq /path/to/project/.git /path/to/backup/.git
If there is no difference (as I would expect if rsync has worked correctly) then the problem with your Git repository is both in your project and in your backup. If there are differences then it might be worthwile to try your next steps on a copy of the backup (it should be fine to make the copy in the Finder).
Good luck.
