All the existing files are shown as unstaged files in sourcetree

Question

In SourceTree, all the existing files are shown as unstaged. I can't discard, remove or reset all. I am not able to pull, push, or commit new changes.

Even if I checkout a new branch or the main branch I am still facing the same problem.

Answer 1

This is sometimes a symptom of line ending differences between systems. mac/linux vs Windows. Look up core.autocrlf

If you pulled files or cloned just before this happened, you may want to to change core.autocrlf and start over.

Alternatively, if these file have Windows style (CRLF) endings, and you are on mac or linux, you may want to run the dos2unix utility on all the files.

Either way, learn about core.autocrlf and make sure it is correct for your system.
