When I make a change to a file in the project folder, the 'SOURCE CONTROL: GIT' panel is not showing the changes unless I type git add . in the terminal.

They do show as 'Uncommitted Changes' in Git Graph.

You can see this in the below screenshot:

I have quit VSCode and reopened it, and made sure to open the project root folder which has the .git file which when opened showed the changes, but after I had committed, pushed, and then made some new changes, they were again not picked up.

How can I resolve this for good?

This happened to me when I tried merging one branch into another with merge conflicts.

The problem ended up being two sets of duplicate files in git Unmerged paths where the only difference was a folder name in their paths with different letter casing. I used git remove on the two files with incorrect casing and the problem was immediately resolved.

Example Resolution

% git status

Unmerged paths:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution)

    both deleted:   filePATH/file01.ts
    both deleted:   filePATH/file02.ts
    added by us:    filePath/file01.ts
    added by us:    filePath/file02.ts

% git remove filePATH/file01.ts
% git remove filePATH/file02.ts
% git add filePath/file01.ts
% git add filePath/file02.ts

I happened to face the same problem when i opened another project in vscode "SOURCE CONTROL: GIT" panel did not showed changes in my files until i used git add .

Below solution worked for me:

  1. go into settings (file->preferences->settings).
  2. search "Git: Post Commit Command".
  3. select 'sync' option from drop down menu.

Happened to me as well. I created a file by running touch aaa.txt and then it showed all changed files. After that I have deleted the created file
