[jbosstools-users] JBDS 8 - GIT plugin won't add an existing local repository

[nicolas duminil]

Hello,

Using JBoss Developer Studio 8.0.0.GA Build id: GA-v20141020-1042-B317. Using GitHub shell, I have created a local GIT repository, added stuff in it and committed. Now with JBDS I go into the GIT perspective and try to add my repository. I'm browsing the file system and I select the repository location but the plugin says "No GIT repositories found". However, if I modify a file in the JBDS workspace and go back to the GIT shell I'm seeing the modification in git status and I can commit it.

So the repository exists, it tracks my modifications, but for some reason JBDS doesn't see it. I mention that I initialized the repository as follows: git --work-tree <my Eclipse workspace> --git-dir <the repo dir> init

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Nicolas
