Seeing changes in a .ppt file?

[Mike Unger]

I've got a .ppt file that I made changes to. But Sourcetree doesn't see that I've made any changes so I can't commit back into my repo. I also made changes to a .docx file in the same repo which is seen. Why doesn't it see the changes in the .ppt file? The file in question is about 5M.

Sometimes this happens. Try restarting Sourcetree.

Or use git on the command line.

git status

...will show you what has changed.

Sometimes the changes are present on the command line, but need "adding" to the repo.

git add some-powerpoint.ppt

...will add the file back to the repo and Sourcetree will then notice it has changed., and you can carry on as normal.
