JB Folks, Noticing this annoying bug where a file randomly pops up in the commit tab claiming it was modified when its not, a different file every time when this has happened.

And its stubborn! I've so far tried -
• restarting the IDE
• invalidate cache
• git restore to unstage
• git rm --cached -r . , git reset --hard
• git stash/ intellij shelve
• moving it to a different changelist
• reverting the changes it claims to have (shows random changes never done on local)
But it still COMES right back within seconds 🥹 . Unable to pull from remote through intelliJ as it warns there are local changes that needs to be removed/stashed etc (which don't work).

Something I'm yet to try is deleting the local repo and pulling a fresh copy from remote. but once in the past I've noticed that failing too. Earlier when I got it to work, was when I moved it to different changelist and called it mean names. but now even that doesn't seem to be working. Someone help! 😭

okay, this is the same when I try without the IDE but on terminal directly. 🤔

Found some articles that mentioned its to do with file line endings and special chars, whats the way out?

[Jishin Dev [JD]]

Deleted the repo and downloaded again and it seems to be fine for the time being. 🤞

If it is the line-endings issue, you can configure how you want the behavior to be: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings

Not sure if its the line-endings, but even if it was, I was hoping the IDE would raise this as a warning or throw some error rather than playing magic tricks 😅

[mcampbell]

Sure, my point was partially though that it might be git and not the editor.

Makes sense.
