Git is not picking up changes in Notebooks

[amcpherson]

We are experiencing an issue where Git is not picking up any changes made in notebooks. We have tried to attach the workspace to a different repo workspace and the issue is presisting. Does anyone have a solution to get this working again?

Hey Amcpherson,

It seems like Git is not detecting changes in your notebooks.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check Git Status:
• Run git status in your repository to see if Git recognizes any modified files.
• Ensure you’re in the correct branch.

1. Notebook File Format:
• Confirm that your notebooks are saved in a format Git recognizes (e.g., .ipynb for Jupyter notebooks).
• Avoid binary formats that Git might ignore.

1. Commit and Push:
• Explicitly commit your changes using git add . and git commit -m "Your message".
• Push to the remote repository with git push.

1. Git Configurations:
• Verify your Git configurations (username, email, etc.) using git config --list.
• Set them correctly if needed.

1. Workspace Permissions:
• Ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify files in the repository.
• Check if any access restrictions are causing issues.

1. Repo Remotes:
• Confirm that your workspace is correctly linked to the Git repository.
• Use git remote -v to check remotes.

1. Cache and Credentials:
• Clear Git cache with git rm --cached . -r.
• Re-enter credentials when prompted.

1. IDE or Git Client:
• If using an IDE or Git client, ensure it’s configured properly.
• Restart the client if needed.

Remember to consult your team or IT support if the issue persists.

Thank you Chiranjeevi for your response. I think this was a bug on the microsoft side. Everything was working fine for months then stopped working for a total of 5 days. This morning everything was working again.
