Git issue with Visual Studio 2015


I had the exact same issue as you and spent hours trying to get it to work, including re-cloning.

I solved it on my end by adding the *.VC.opendb and *.VC.db files to the .gitignore file of my project.

As soon as I returned to Visual Studio all my pending changes were showing. As far as I can tell it's all working normally again.


I have same issue with db.lock file ...

Solution with images are as follow:

Git will ignore these files for next commit.


Since the Visual Studio 2015 update 1 release notes and its "Known Issues and Fixed Bugs" page does not mention anything related to Git, try to:

  • make a fresh clone of your repo from the command line (git clone)
  • import the solution in Visual Studio and check if the git repo is detected

Or:

  • check that you can add new files
  • close Visual Studio
  • overwrite that new repo by your own (delete and replace the .git by your own, and copy your worktree over the one used by Visual Studio)
