Multi tool use

Eclipse and Git command line are showing different status for files

I have recently migrated to GIT from SVN and in the learning phase.
I am working on a change and for that I have created a new branch as below with eclipse option as:

Right click on project-->Team-->Switch To-->New Branch

New branch name :
feature/Fix-Issues

Say for instance, I have modified two files as part of the fix as :

A.java
B.java


After doing my changes, I have committed the files with eclipse 'Commit and Push'.
I can see a new entry has been added in the history. So far so good.

I am using Cygwin for using git commands. In order to verify that I have checked out to my feature branch, I have issued below command:

git branch


Which says that I am checked out to my feature branch (feature/Fix-Issues).

Now, if I ran below command:

git status


It returns as Changes not staged for commit :

modified:<package>/A.java
modified:<package>/B.java


I am not able to understand this part as I have checked in the files from Eclipse and have successful commit message in the history as well.
Any lead would be really helpful.

Since you were saying like you haven't cloned the same repository anywhere else. It might be because of the local repository not updated properly. Try the following options:

1. Updating the branch

git checkout your_branch


2. Take a pull/fetch

git pull will pull the latest changes.

git pull

git fetch will update the list of changes.

git fetch

The issue was related to filemode . Please have a look on below link How do I make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes?
