Not Recognizing Changes

[earthtoexodus]

Hi everyone!

I'm working on code for a Discord bot that runs 24/7 on my Raspberry Pi. I'm trying to make some changes in VS Code on my windows PC. When I push, add, etc., it says that it's up to date when it isn't. Anyone know how to help?

hey @LocallyLuca try the following to figure out or solve the problem:

• before making changes try to pull changes from the remote

git pull

• check the branch you are pushing to or making changes to by this command

git branch

• check git status

git status

• Ensure you’ve added and committed all changes in specific order

git add .
git commit -m "Your commit message"
git push origin <branch-name>

• If there are conflicts, Git might refuse to push changes. Look for merge conflict messages and resolve them:
• Ensure your repository is pointing to the correct remote:

git remote -v

• if not crct try to change using this command:

git remote set-url origin <correct-repo-URL>

• try using terminal git to push changes or check status instead of using vs code or reinstalling any of the softwares(git or vscode) if possible.

!NOTE: If these didn't solve your issue pls attach some more details or even screenshots to get further assistance. Thank you.

I had same issues.

---

First:

1. Synchronize with the remote repository first.
   git pull origin main
2. If there are no conflicts, the changes will be merged and you can push your changes.
   git push origin main

---

Second:
If git pull detects conflicts, you need to resolve them:

1. Open files with conflicts (they will be marked with <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> markers).
2. Resolve conflicts by saving the necessary changes.
3. Add files after conflict resolution:
   git add .
4. Complete the merge:
   git commit -m "Resolve conflicts"
5. Now do the git push again:
   git push origin main

---

Third:
If you are sure that you want to overwrite deleted changes:

1. If you know for sure that your local changes should replace the deleted ones, use a forced push (not recommended).
   git push origin main --force

⚠️ This approach can delete other people's changes, so use it only if you are sure that you will not lose anything important.⚠️

It sounds like you're facing an issue where your changes in VS Code on your Windows PC aren't reflecting when you push to your Raspberry Pi. Here's how you can resolve it:

Ensure you're working on the right branch: Make sure that the branch you are editing locally is the same as the one you're pushing to on the Raspberry Pi. You can check this by running git branch to confirm your current branch.

Check the status: Run git status to see if there are any uncommitted changes. If you have changes that aren’t staged, you can stage them by running git add . followed by git commit -m "your commit message".

Confirm remote configuration: Run git remote -v to ensure your local repository is connected to the correct remote on the Raspberry Pi. If the remote URL is incorrect, you can update it using git remote set-url origin .

Pull before pushing: If you're working with a remote repository, make sure your local repository is up-to-date by running git pull before pushing. This ensures you're not pushing outdated code or missing changes made on the Raspberry Pi.

Check for ignored files: If you're using .gitignore, make sure the files you want to push aren’t being ignored.

Force Push: If none of the above works, try using git push --force to overwrite any mismatched history (use this with caution, as it can overwrite changes).

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and push your changes here successfully.
