So I have run into an issue where I have setup my Eclipse installation to push config files to a remote git repository (a remote repository on a local linux server). Now, when I change, add or update a file, I am able to save the file, commit the file and then push the file to the remote git repo with no issues. However, when I look at the remote repo, the updated file is not showing any changes and the time stamp does not update. When I run git status, I see that the file has changed and is waiting on being committed on the remote git repo. This was working before but I am not sure what happened to cause the behavior to change.

I have re-imported the remote repo into eclipse, I have tried to make sure that everything was synced up and tried to push the changes again and I am still seeing a commit in place on the remote repo. I have tried to clean the repo, run an fsck on the repo, I have tried to resync the repo, and of course I have tried to pull the repo many times to get everything in sync. I have even gone as far as restoring the remote repo to a date where I know the repo behaved as expected, pulled and rebased the repo, but the behavior is still the same.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks!

    And you are really do a `git commit -m "commit message"` and after them `git pull`? – SwissCodeMen May 03 '21 at 19:37
  • To be honest, I am not sure. I am running a commit and push via eclipse, and to be honest, I am not sure where in eclipse to check to see what commands are being run with a commit and push. – John_Doe_77 May 03 '21 at 19:54
  • I don't know anything about Eclipse... But I would open the terminal in Eclipse ([How to open terminal inside Eclipse](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43623643/how-to-open-terminal-inside-eclipse)) and type in `git log`. There you can see which changes have already been pushed to remote. Otherwise you can also `git commit -m "commit-message"` and after `git push`. It may be that git doesn't push correctly to the remote repositor in Eclipse... – SwissCodeMen May 03 '21 at 20:31

  • Thanks for the help. I am going through those links now. – John_Doe_77 May 04 '21 at 01:55
  • Maybe you just looking on the wrong (remote) branches. How have you configure your local branch (in the _Git Repositories_ view right-click the branch and choose _Configure Branch..._). When also using the command line Git (which is not required by Eclipse), hit _Refresh_ in the _Git Stagging_ view to get the changes done outside of Eclipse. – howlger May 04 '21 at 08:09
  • Thanks for trying to help out howlger. I actually backed up the old local branch, and re-cloned the branch from the remote back to eclipse just to make sure that I was grabbing the correct branch. I am still trying to find the magic bullet but what SwissCodeMen was able to share brings me to believe the issue is on my local eclipse config. – John_Doe_77 May 06 '21 at 01:43
