Fetching dll and exe issue

Alain Goodarzi

Hi,

I know .dll and .exe files not supposed to be in repo. But we have to, because we don't have their codes and they need to be there for production.

I can push them successfully from one machine to the repo but in some of our machines they get ignored when we pull or fetch.

I verified the .gitignore locally and gitignore_global, but I didn't find any.

Any idea to fix the issue?

thanks

Hello Alain,

Thank you for providing the details of what you’ve checked already. I do have a question though, are you using GIT command line or are you using Sourcetree?

If you’re using Sourcetree, there was a reported issue similar to what you’re experiencing. The issue reports the following to resolve it:

Sourcetree adds a global ignore file when installed. All pushing through GIT, will now look at this file before uploading the data. Running git check-ignore should tell you where the file is, and allow you to edit it, and remove any lines that are filtering out dll files. By default, Sourcetree ignored dll files - to allow them - Tools=>Options=>Git then "Edit File"... add a "#" before .dll => "#.dll" ... save and close. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15515729/git-repository-ignoring-all-dlls for more info.

Source issue: Required DLLs aren't uploaded on Bitbucket Repository.

If you’re still having this issue after applying the above changes, please let us know.
