Unable to revert changes in Idea IDE

Question

I have several files shown as changed. If i revert changes nothing happens. If I remove them from disk and then run git checkout -- . from console they shown as changed again.

How to tell Idea to forget about them?

Other actions (like pull, commit and push) works fine.

OS: Windows 7.

$ git config core.fileMode
false

$ git status
# On branch bugfix/XXXXX
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Here i didnot get clear idea what you said, you want to revert back those changes ? or you donot want to see files status(changed/modified)? — Anjaneyulu Battula, Sep 20 '14 at 14:40
Provide us more information about these files, are they part of your code or part of the files modified by your IDE? — Joël Salamin, Sep 20 '14 at 17:17
What's your OS? Also, could you please tell what's the output of `git config core.autocrlf`? And what are the line endings in the problematic files? you may have guessed what I'm suspecting at this point ;) — Lucas Trzesniewski, Sep 20 '14 at 22:43
@AnjaneyuluBattula Idea tells me that files are identical when I press Ctrl + D, `git status` does not show any changes at all — talex, Sep 21 '14 at 13:09
@LucasTrzesniewski yes I get what you mean. But this is something different. Because `git status` does not show anything. And even if I delete thous files and restore them with `git checkout -- .` nothing changes. — talex, Sep 21 '14 at 13:12
@talex I think by mistake files are duplicated , so find out those file name and check files in project folder. — Anjaneyulu Battula, Sep 21 '14 at 14:27
@AnjaneyuluBattula no, No duplicates in this folder. File name is unique across project — talex, Sep 23 '14 at 07:03

I guess the problem is with file modes! I faced the same thing some time back when I moved my development to Windows.

Try running git config core.fileMode false and then check!

Hope it help!

By using git status we can find out each file status (modified, not modified).
In our project, temporary files frequently change. In this case, git repository says our files are untracked or modified. For this we have to add these files to .gitignore to ignore them.

We have to execute some commands. Please refer to this question and check the following commands.
```
git reset HEAD filenamewithpath -> unstaging a staged file
git checkout -- filenamewithpath -> unmodifying a modified file
```
You can find the relevant technology's .gitignore files in this GitHub repository.
To ignore the files which we mentioned in the .gitignore file, we have to execute the following commands.
```
git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"
```

did you add .gitignore file to your project? and after using git status did you find any untracked files? – Anjaneyulu Battula Sep 23 '14 at 14:50
Yes, there id `.gitignore` file in project. And `git status` doesn't show any changes. – talex Sep 23 '14 at 16:09
Hmm then, may be the problem is because of idea IDE, please check the version whether it is latest or not. – Anjaneyulu Battula Sep 23 '14 at 16:22
Problem not in `.gitignore` file. Files is part of project and already commited into repository. – talex Sep 24 '14 at 13:45
`git status` command will show untracked and modified files, but in your case it is not showing. I think the files which are changed are not in **git repository** please check once. – Anjaneyulu Battula Sep 25 '14 at 05:21
Files in repository. I tryed delet them locally and restore from repo. It doesn't help. – talex Sep 25 '14 at 08:45

Have you tried to switch off Editor/Auto-import/Optimize import?

Second idea: the now famous LF/CRLF problem http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/webhelp/handling-lf-and-crlf-line-endings.html git status shows modifications even with autocrlf=false

I would tend to think about the second possibility.

Good luck!

Idea doesn't show aby changes on `Ctrl + D`, `git status` too. So it's not line ending problem – talex Sep 24 '14 at 15:25

There is a "Refresh File Status" under the VCS menu. Can't hurt to give it a shot.

It is not complete solution. But as long my problem some kind of Idea magic solution magical too.

When I checked out another branch changes disappear. If I checked out initial branch it occur again.

Magic to all :)
