GIT Workspace integration won’t sync

[August_Stidberg]

Hello!
In my organization we have workspaces (WS) synced with Azure Git. Now some colleagues have run into a problem that I don’t know how to fix: they can’t sync their workspace with the Git branch.

It looks like the connection works at first, but then in the workspace side panel it only shows the message:
“Sync with a Git branch to continue. After you sync with a branch you can work with the source control pane.”

I even tried creating a new branch and connecting it to another repository, but the same problem occurs. I noticed that the last changes before this issue started were commits from the workspace to the branch. Could that have caused the problem?

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I solved this by reverting each commit one after another and trying to sync until it finally worked. I wasn’t able to figure out exactly which commit caused the problem. 🤔

Hi @August_Stidberg ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

You are facing Git workspace sync issue in Microsoft Fabric.

Please try below things to fix the issue.

1. Disconnect the workspace from Git. In Azure DevOps, create a new empty branch. Delete all files/folders from the new branch. Reconnect the workspace to this cleaned branch.

2. Check if any notebooks, lakehouses or datasets are owned by former employees. Reassign ownership to active users.

3. Try to Sync Git manually, If you are using Git CLI or Visual Studio, try the below syntax.

git fetch origin
git pull origin <branch-name>
git push origin <branch-name>

Note: Make sure to resolve any merge conflicts before pushing.

4. Run git status and git diff to identify conflicts. Use git merge or git checkout to resolve. Commit and push again.

5. If another user commit from the same workspace it may resolved the issue.
