Not showing uncommitted changes

[Jeni Seidel]

I just got new laptop and installed latest (3.4.19) version of SourceTree on a Windows machine. I've set up personal access token and I can see changes that are committed to the GitLab repository, but none of my uncommitted changes show up in SourceTree.

Hi @Jeni Seidel

Welcome to the Community!

To resolve the issue where uncommitted changes are not appearing in your Sourcetree, I would try these common fixes:

1. Make sure the drop-down menu at the bottom of the "File Status" view is set to either "All" or "Pending".
2. Press F5 to force a refresh. If the files appear after this, go to Tools > Options > General and ensure "Refresh automatically when files change" is checked.
3. Disable LibGit2 Integration under Tools > Options > Git, then restart Sourcetree.
4. Open the terminal (button in the top right of Sourcetree) and type git status. If the changes appear there but not in Sourcetree, the issue is definitely with the Sourcetree UI or refresh mechanism.
5. Make sure the files you're searching for haven't been mistakenly ignored by a global or local .gitignore file.

You could also try re-adding the repository in SourceTree to reset the file-watching service.
