Git in vscode does not detect git status correctly if the files are on another OS partition

• Have a dual booted PC, in my case it's windows 10 and Manjaro, previously it was windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04, I had the same issue

• Have a git project placed on windows 10 partition, C drive or whatever

• Boot into Linux, mount that partition and open the project in VSCode

• Do a git pull from the terminal, it will say everything is up to date

• Look at the git icon in vscode menu, it will show that you have files to commit.

I don't know if the same issue is on mac, I don't have a mac to test. I use vscode on both Linux and windows. Maybe the issue is with .vscode folder? Can't tell for sure, maybe vscode is trying to read configurations off windows from that folder and it's not the same, or maybe it's something else.

What files? What if you run git status from the terminal, what does that output?

You're right, git status reports modified files. I fixed it by following this question

microsoft/WSL#184

git config --global core.filemode false
git config --global core.autocrlf true

I believe that the second line is the one that fixed it.
