git status shows modifications, git checkout — 2019-01-01 16:25发布 站内问答 / 前沿技术 1306 21 4

Question

I would like to remove all changes to my working copy.
Running git status shows files modified.
Nothing I do seems to remove these modifications.
E.g.:

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Enumerables/CachingEnumerable.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Pipelines/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuter.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/Rhino.Etl.Tests.csproj
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuterTest.cs
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git checkout -- Rhino.Etl.Core/Enumerables/CachingEnumerable.cs

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Enumerables/CachingEnumerable.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Pipelines/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuter.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/Rhino.Etl.Tests.csproj
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuterTest.cs
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git checkout `git ls-files -m`

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Enumerables/CachingEnumerable.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Core/Pipelines/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuter.cs
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/Rhino.Etl.Tests.csproj
#       modified:   Rhino.Etl.Tests/SingleThreadedPipelineExecuterTest.cs
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

rbellamy@PROMETHEUS /d/Development/rhino-etl (master)
$ git reset --hard HEAD
HEAD is now at 6c857e7 boo libraries updated to 2.0.9.2 and rhino.dsl.dll updated.

Answer 1

I had a .bat file with the same problem (couldn't get rid it it in untracked files). git checkout -- didn't work, neither did any of the suggestions on this page. The only thing that worked for me was to do:

git stash save --keep-index

And then to delete the stash:

git stash drop

Answer 2

Having consistent line endings is a good thing. For example it will not trigger unnecessary merges, albeit trivial. I have seen Visual Studio create files with mixed line endings.

Also some programs like bash (on linux) do require that .sh files are LF terminated.

To make sure this happens you can use gitattributes. It works on repository level no matter what the value of autcrlf is.

For example you can have .gitattributes like this: * text=auto

You can also be more specific per file type/extension if it did matter in your case.

Then autocrlf can convert line endings for Windows programs locally.

On a mixed C#/C++/Java/Ruby/R, Windows/Linux project this is working well. No issues so far.

Answer 3

This issue can also occur when a contributor to the repo works on a Linux machine, or windows with Cygwin and file permissions are changed. Git only knows of 755 and 644.

Example of this issue and how to check for it:

git diff styleguide/filename

diff --git a/filename b/filename
old mode 100644
new mode 100755

To avoid this, you should make sure you setup git correctly using

git config --global core.filemode false

Answer 4

Got the same issue twice! Both times when stash some changes I made and then tried to pop them back. Could'nt pop the changes since I've got lots of file that are changed -- but they are NOT! They are EXACTLY the same.

I now think I've tried all the above solutions without success. After trying the

git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard

I now got almost all the files in my repository modified.

When diffing the file, it says I've deleted all the lines and then add them again.

Kind of disturbing. I will now avoid stashing in the future..

The only solution is to clone a new repository and start over. (Made it last time)

Answer 5

I was only able to fix this by temporary deleting my repo's .gitattributes file (which defined * text=auto and *.c text).

I ran git status after deleting and the modifications were gone. They didn't return even after .gitattributes was put back in place.

Answer 6

Try doing a

git checkout -f

That should clear all the changes in the current working local repo
