You can *now* do this in Visual Studio by going to the Synchronisation tab (Sync in the Team drop down menu) and clicking Fetch at the top.

I have solved my problem opening a Git Command Prompt (following this [instructions][1]), and doing a `git fetch` to retrieve the new branch.

I had the exact opposite issue (more or less):  I could see the branch in Visual Studio, but it wasn&#39;t on the remote server. 

Trying to delete it (from remote) yielded this error:  
&gt;Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error. PushCommand.ExecutePushCommand

Here&#39;s how to fix it (tested in VS 2017):

 1. In Visual Studio, double click on your &quot;rogue&quot; remote branch; 
 2. VS should have now created a local branch from it; 
 3. Right click on the local branch, select &quot;Unset remote branch&quot;; 
 4. Right click on the local branch, select &quot;Push branch&quot;; 
 5. You should now have a **true** corresponding remote branch;
 6. Delete the remote branch, then the local branch.

Hopefully it will help someone who ends up on this thread having the same issue as me.

I have a sidenav with a bunch of basketball teams. So I would like to display something different for each team when one of them is being hovered over. Also, I am using Reactjs so if I could have a variable that I could pass to another component that would be awesome.

This isn&#39;t as simple as just doing a parametrized build. I&#39;ve already got a specific build process that will build and deploy whenever any of these branches are pushed to GitHub:

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

So if I&#39;ve just pushed `develop` and it built successfully, how do I trigger a manual build and have it pull `feature/my-new-feature` (without doing a `git push`)? I tried enabling parametrized build, adding a new string called `branch`, and then adding a new branch specifier, `*/$branch`. I then ran a build and set `branch` to `feature/my-new-feature` and it still pulled from `develop`.

I&#39;d appreciate any help!

Jenkins - how to build a specific branch

In short;
---------

 - How can I delete remote multiple merged remotes?

More background;
----------------

I have a git repo with tens of remotes which have been merged into master.  I can delete these remotes one at a time by using:

    git push --delete origin myBranch-1234

However this is a slow and tedious process for all remotes.  So I&#39;m trying this command:

    git branch -r --merged | grep origin | grep -v master | xargs git push origin --delete

`git branch -r --merged` lists all merged remotes.&lt;br&gt;
`grep origin` tells the command to include origin.&lt;br&gt;
`grep -v master` tells the command to exclude master.&lt;br&gt;
`xargs git push origin --delete` tells the command to delete the list of remotes.

All together, I expect this to gather all merged remotes and delete them.

When I run the above command, I receive the following for every merged remote;

    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1234&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1235&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1236&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1237&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    ... etc
However these remotes do exist and I can checkout each of them.  Many sites and people recommend that I run `git fetch --prune` to clean up missing references.  This does nothing because all of these remotes exist.

So I ask you, dear stack exchange;
----------------------------------

 - Why can I delete one remote, but not many?
 - Is my command correct?

I think I&#39;m missing something small.  Every time I research this, it seems like I&#39;m doing this correctly, but I&#39;m getting the above errors.

I&#39;ve just installed Git for Windows 2.5.0 on Windows 7, and it appears that my `.bashrc` file is not being executed when I run Git Bash.

I created the file like so:

	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 /
	$ pwd
	/
	
	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 /
	$ cd ~

	$ pwd
	/c/Users/Administrator
	
	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 ~
	$ touch .bashrc
	
	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 ~
	$ vi .bashrc
	
	[... I insert the line &quot;ZZZTESTVAR=234&quot; (without the quotes) into the file in vim ...]
	
	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 ~
	$ exit

Yet, when I next run Git Bash:

	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 /
	$ set | grep ZZZ
	
	Administrator@HintTech-Dev MINGW64 /
	$ cat ~/.bashrc
	ZZZTESTVAR=234

	$ set | grep ZZZ
	ZZZTESTVAR=234

Why isn&#39;t my `.bashrc` being run?  It seems to be in the right place and have the right permissions.

I want to publish some programming documentation I have in a public available repository. This documentation has formatted text, some UML diagrams, and a lot of code examples. I think that GitHub or GitLab are good places to publish this.

To publish the UML diagrams, I would like to have some easy way to keep them updated into the repository and visible as images in the wiki. I don&#39;t want to keep the diagrams in my computer (or on the cloud), edit them, generate an image, and then publish it every time.

Is there a way to put the diagrams in the repository (in PlantUML syntax would be ideal), link them in the markdown text, and make the images auto-update every time the diagram is updated?

I created the private repo examplesite/myprivaterepo using the Github UI from my browser.

Then I went to my go directory (on the desktop) and cloned it:

    $ cd $GOPATH
    $ go get github.com/examplesite/myprivaterepo

So far so good. Created the file scheduler.go, added to repo, and pushed.

    $ vim scheduler.go
    $ git add scheduler.go
    $ git commit
    $ git push

Everythng&#39;s OK. But when I went to a clean laptop  and tried to clone the repo, I got an error:

    # Now on laptop, which doesn&#39;t yet know about the repo
    $ cd $GOPATH
    $ go get github.com/examplesite/myprivaterepo
    # At this point it should ask for my user ID and password ,right? But it doesn&#39;t.
    # Instead, this error occurs:
    cd .; git clone https://github.com/examplesite/myprivaterepo /Users/tom/go/src/github.com/examplesite/myprivaterepo
    Cloning into &#39;/Users/tom/go/src/github.com/examplesite/myprivaterepo&#39;...

Why is my laptop hating on my own repo and how can I get it to accept its fate? Thanks.

After using VS2015 snapshot and profiling tools, I can&#39;t seem to get the diagnostics tools to work again. Every project, even new ones just say the following

This is running on Windows Server 2008 and used to work several months ago.  I am just now using this server again for some dev work with VS.

This is live web server used to serve up a few test sites as well.

This came up when running Visual Studio, then launching my projects for debugging.

Trying to launch any site through `localhost:xxxx` when IISExpress has been launched (using actual port #&#39;s in the config to access different sites):

    This webpage is not available
    
    ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED


I have been at this for a few days already, as I have read others have had similar issues, tried [most things][1] I have read including changing the `managedruntimeversion` from &quot;v4.0&quot; to &quot;v4.0.30319&quot; for .net 4.5 (I have never had to do this before) and disabling the logging module (all suggestions found [here][1]).

There are only two entries in my `hosts` file that point to internal server IP addresses.  No `localhost` related IP&#39;s or references.

I have gone as far as re-installing IIS Express, and Visual Studio 2013. I also created a brand new `WebApplication` site to try to resolve this (simple and no other complicated bindings).

When I spin up Fiddler, I see the following on the page:

    [Fiddler] The socket connection to localhost failed. 
    ErrorCode: 10061. 
    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:23162

[![Fiddler capture][2]][2]

I have removed all proxy settings from IE&#39;s LAN connection section, where before I was getting a *red-x* popup in VS indicating something like *IISExpress could not launch*.

This is not a matter of SSL vs non SSL.

I had TFS Server installed - uninstalled that in case there were some odd bindings that were interfering.

I tried deleting the IISExpress config/settings folder several times.

Current *applicationhost.config* contains:


    &lt;site name=&quot;WebApplication1&quot; id=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
                    &lt;application path=&quot;/&quot; applicationPool=&quot;Clr4IntegratedAppPool&quot;&gt;
                        &lt;virtualDirectory path=&quot;/&quot; physicalPath=&quot;C:\TFS-WorkRepository\Sandbox\WebApplication1\WebApplication1&quot; /&gt;
                    &lt;/application&gt;
                    &lt;bindings&gt;
                        &lt;binding protocol=&quot;http&quot; bindingInformation=&quot;*:23162:localhost&quot; /&gt;
                    &lt;/bindings&gt;
                &lt;/site&gt;
                &lt;siteDefaults&gt;
                    &lt;logFile logFormat=&quot;W3C&quot; directory=&quot;%IIS_USER_HOME%\Logs&quot; /&gt;

                &lt;/siteDefaults&gt;
                &lt;applicationDefaults applicationPool=&quot;Clr4IntegratedAppPool&quot; /&gt;


I wish there was a tag for `really-stuck`.

Please suggest away, as I don&#39;t want to go as far as spinning up a new server.


**-- UPDATE --**

In the URL bar, when I enter the computer name or IP address :xxxx I get the `ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT` rather than `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`.

I searched this problem but none of the solutions worked. I have Visual Studio Professional 2015 installed and I am using TFS. My NuGet version is 3.1.6. This problem is happening only in my C# Web API/MVC project.

I am getting the below error:

&gt; This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this
&gt; computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them.  For more
&gt; information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The
&gt; missing file is
&gt; ..\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props

 1. I do not have .nuget folder in my solutions.
 2. I have a packages folder in the solution and when I delete it, it seems like NuGet does rebuild the dependencies but the project still has the above error.
 3. I tried removing the project from TFS and it didn&#39;t fix it.
 4. Along with the above error, all the references in the project have yellow warning signs and say they are missing.
 5. When I checked the NuGet Package Manager for the project, everything that is &quot;missing&quot; has a green tick next to it, including Microsoft.Net.Compilers.
 6. I tried adding a new Web API/MVC project and it faced a similar problem where most references such as Owin were &quot;missing&quot; with the yellow warning sign.

I feel guilty asking a question like this around here, but I&#39;m at a loss and would appreciate some help.

A proof-of-concept like web application was built on one PC and put up on a repo to download on another PC at a different location. There was originally an auto-build feature set up where Azure would build and publish automatically on check-in, but that was removed. Things were working on both ends until one side included a bulk of excluded changes. Now I&#39;m seeing the following error:

&gt; The &quot;Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.BuildTasks.Csc&quot; task could not be        
&gt; loaded from the assembly
&gt; ...\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build\..\tools\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CodeAnalysis.dll.
&gt; Could not load file or assembly
&gt; &#39;file:///...\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\tools\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CodeAnalysis.dll&#39;
&gt; or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
&gt; Confirm that the &lt;UsingTask&gt; declaration is correct, that the assembly
&gt; and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a
&gt; public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to begin looking for the issue?

I am having difficulty in doing a pull from `origin`. I keep getting:

&gt; &quot;Cannot pull because there are uncommitted changes. Commit or undo your changes before pulling again. See the Output window for details.&quot;

This also applies to switching branches. I get a similar sort of message, but this does not always happen.

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 and Visual Studio Team Services Git. On my machine I have a local `master` branch, and development branches. Every time I switch to `master` and then I do a pull I get the error message. I have resorted to doing a stash and drop stash (command line) and sometimes I use [TortoiseGit][1] to do the pull and it works.

What is strange is even if I try to revert (on the uncommitted files) using TortoiseGit it shows that it was reverted successfully (I have already tried Visual Studio undo, nothing happens). Trying to pull again, it is still the same problem. The uncommitted files will be there and sometimes when I do a `git status` it says there is nothing to commit.

Just a note: This can happen even after switching from a branch onto `master`. In this case there is no way there can be uncommitted changes, because I would not have been able to switch in the first place.

I am still new to Git, but I would like to know if there is a better way of solving this as I would like to use one environment instead of using switching between different environments for each task; it&#39;s easier for me to just do everything from Visual Studio. I have already read up on:

*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26885057/tfs-git-in-vs-cannot-switch-to-master-because-there-are-uncommitted-changes*

**UPDATE**

It seems like this problem has to do with line endings.

By doing a `git diff -R` you can see that a line ending has been added, &quot;^M&quot;, and it is different. Removing the `* text=auto` in gitattributes (then check for changes) and putting it back on again so that the gitattributes does not signal a change of itself that needs to be committed seems to help, there will not be any changes.
