Question

I’m using EGit 2.1.0 and Eclipse Juno on Mac OS X 10.8. (I have never used EGit before a couple of hours ago.)

I have a private GitHub repository (it’s for a school team project — don’t want my classmates cheating :P) and my files aren’t all being added.

I selected all 12 of my projects in Eclipse and tried to commit them. I went through the wizard and for some reason only 5 of them received the yellow cylinder icon (and one of the 5 doesn’t have any of its files selected). The rest have the question mark, which Google tells me means they’re “untracked.” I’ve tried pushing, committing and adding to index on these projects/files in the project to no avail. How do I get them on github?

Incidentally the 4 that completely work are the first 4 alphabetically and the one that received the icon but didn’t commit any files is the 5th. It makes me think that it was going through them, in order, and some sort of (unreported) error was encountered.

Thanks in advance!

Turns out that .gitignore was ignoring the files that had Sql in it. If your files are not being tracked, one point of investigation is to look at your .gitignore file in your root directory.
