Cannot commit any changes,

[joehot200]

Description

Using Unity 2017.3, I have just installed GitHub for Unity.

I have signed in, and I have linked GitHub to my repository.
The problem is, that LOCALLY, I cannot commit any changes.

After clicking "Commit to [master]", nothing happens. I check the History tab, and nothing changes.
The files or amount of files do not seem to matter, the outcome is always the same - nothing happens.

Furthermore, Unity also seems to be using up almost all of the RAM on my laptop since I installed Github for Unity. I'm not sure if that is relevant to the problem.

Additional Information

Here is my log file:
180302-15:51:06.965 INFO [ 1] Initializing GitHub for Unity version 0.26.2

Could you enable the Trace Logging check in the Settings tab of the GitHub window and send the log again after you've tried to commit? It'll generate more output that hopefully will tell us what the problem is.

Thank you for your quick reply! Looks like there's an error. Here is the log:

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.

Aaaah, some other operation didn't complete and left the index.lock file behind. Looks like we have a bug when showing errors during commit, that should show up in the UI.
Are there other long-running operations (like a pull) happening in some other git client (not GitHub for Unity). If not, then you can delete the .git/index.lock file and try again.

Thank you! It worked! Remind me to hug you later.

My main concern now is with the extra RAM used, however I will create another issue for that (along with comparisons between with and without git).

But anyway, this issue is now resolved for me. Thank you for the support, I appreciate it.

[shana]

Great, thanks! The extra ram is worrying, yeah, an issue for that would be great.
