Hi,

I've sort of got Git working but I've got a problem with one of my applications where it won't commit changes.  I can edit an object and Powerbuilder knows its modified but when I Commit it, it doesn't seem to update the repo.  Is there any advanced logging I can turn on to see what it is doing.  The log shows that it finds 1 modified file, but it doesn't actually get commited:

 ---------- Source Control
Git commit
Git client is finding files. Please wait...
Git client has finished finding files. 1 file(s) found.
Git client is committing files. Please wait...
Git commit success.
Git commit
 ---------- Done Source Control


I can check modifications from TortoiseGit and it finds the modified file and I can commit it from there, but for some reason Powerbuilder doesn't commit modifications.  It will commit new objects in this particular project though.

 

Also, is there a way to exclude .pbd files from Git tracking?  My project includes pbwsclient170.pbd and Powerbuilder has the three objects marked in that file as added and they come up each time I commit the whole project.  Ideally I'd like to exclude any pbds from tracking.

Hello.

(if I understand your problem)
After the commit you have to push.
The PUSH command commits the object from the local repository to the remote repository.
see: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push

Before pushing a git repository it is important to have the gitignore configured, ie specify which files should not be versioned in a git repository.
see: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

Thanks for the reply.  With regard to the commit/push.  The commit updates the local repo and then the push updates the remote repo from the local.  The problem I'm having is that Powerbuilder isn't updating the local repo, but I can do that from TortoiseGit.  The push from Powerbuilder seems to be working ok.



 



Thanks, I'll have another look at gitignore.  I had added the pbd to .gitignore and removed it from the local repo but Powerbuilder still seems to want to track it.

Hi,



I encounter the exact same problem where committing a file from PowerBuilder to the local Git repository doesn't work. 



Committing the file using the command line works.
