Visual Studio 2013 shows everything as checked out while using git
Jul 19, 2016 07:13 PM|sn2016|LINK
Hi,
I am working on a .Net solution using VS.Net 2013. The solution source codes are stored in a GIT repository, I used TortoiseGit to clone the repository into my local PC without problems. But when I opened the solution using VS.Net 2013 for the first time, everything in the solution has a red check mark which means it is checked out and modified. So I did some comparisons with the source control and no differences found in diff windows.
TortoiseGIT I installed is integrated with Window Explorer, Window Explorer shows everything unchanged.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Update all files Check in you code then close and open you VS 2013. Now it will clear everything.

Sorry, I don't understand your answer. I did not make any changes, I opened solution using VS.Net for the first time. All files appeared to be checked out but they were not. I don't think it's a good idea to check in.

Hi,
Here are a few suggestions that might help:
•Cleaning and rebuilding your current Project (Right-click > Clean, Right-click Rebuild respective) and see if that makes any difference at all.
•Stop your existing application and ensure that you don't have any additional IIS processes or instances of your local Web Server running.
•If these issues are still persisting after the above steps, try restarting Visual Studio (and even your local machine)
Please let me know if it can fix it.
Regards,
Angie

Hi Angie,
I followed your steps, still not working for me. However I kind of solved my own problem, I used VS.Net to clone git repository into a different folder than the one I created using TortoiseGit. This time nothing appeared to be checked out, I changed one file , the red check mark showed up as expected.
Seems to me, if I clone git repository using TortoiseGit, Visual Studio will have problem identifying the changed files. If I use Visual Studio to clone, TortoiseGit will have no problems identifying the changed files. Strange to me, but it serves my purpose.
Thanks
