Creating a new file ending in .orig. [message #930743] Tue, 02 October 2012 15:45 Go to next message

Hello,

I am currently working on an existing Git repository. So, I opened up EGit and started to make the changes to a few files that I needed. All of the files that I modified were properly listed in the "Git Staging" area, under the "Unstaged Changes" box. However, I did create a new file called "MyFile.xml.orig", which was not listed. So, I right clicked on that file and chose "Team"->"Add to Index", but nothing happened.

Next, I headed to Git Command line. I did a "git status" and saw all of the files that I changed (properly) under the "Changes not staged for commit:" section, and the new file that I created (MyFile.xml.orig) listed under the "Untracked Files:" section. At this point, I did a "git add MyFile.xml.orig". Next, I did a "git status" again and it (properly) showed up in the "Changes to be committed:" section.

Heading back to EGit, I now see the the new file (properly) listed in the "Staged Changes" section of "Git Staging" screen.

I'm guessing that EGit has a problem with the .orig extension. So, my question is this: Is there any way that I can add .orig files to the index in EGit, without having to go through the command line.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer!

In Eclipse you can configure ignored resources, which is valid for all Team providers, not just EGit. You find that configuration in Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Ignored Resources.
*.orig is ignored by default, but you can disable that.

Thanks, Manuel! As timing would have it, I *just* stumbled onto this solution myself. And, I'm happy to say that it works. I'm worried about other potential fall out, but I'll be careful when I'm pushing my changes for the next few days. Smile

Thanks again!
