I am using GitHub Desktop version 3.1.1.4 on Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit

  • For some reason, history tab does not work. It shows changes tab display only.
  • Sync button is not there any more.

I tried following:

  1. Restarting PC
  2. Reinstalling Git for windows version 2.9.0.windows.1
  3. Closed all other application

I have attached screenshot of GitHub Desktop for both changes and history tab:

Changes tab: changes tab

History tab: history tab

Anyone else faced similar issue? Any suggestion what else I can try to resolve this issue?

  • I've had almost the same problem for a couple of months now. The sync button is there, but pressing it just starts an animation that goes forever. The history tab issue is the exact same. – obskyr Jul 05 '16 at 12:34
  • Haaahahah... I recently reinstalled the entire OS, and for a while this worked fine. Now the same problem is back, though... There's something weird going on for sure. – obskyr Apr 20 '17 at 02:09

Reinstalling Git for windows version 2.9.0.windows.1

That doesn't change anything for GitHub Desktop: it uses its own embedded distro of git for Windows, and you cannot change it.

Try first to see if the issue persits with:

  • I tried both cases but getting some result. The top bar where sync button resides disappears (turns into black). Yesterday I reinstalled Github Desktop then it started working but suddenly it crashed today and now it is having same issue. – Tushar Mehta Jun 30 '16 at 07:41
  • @TusharMehta Strange: so you see anything in GitHub Desktop logs? – VonC Jun 30 '16 at 07:43
