Git - Android Studio no longer lets me commit changes and push to GitHub

Question

As of a couple of hours ago, Android Studio no longer lets me commit my changes. When the Commit dialog pops up, it shows the files that have changed and lets me enter a commit message. However, when i click Commit (or Commit and Push), the progress dialog comes up, goes to about 10% - 20% and then just disappears without actually committing anything. If i try again (without restarting the IDE first), nothing seems to happen at all when i click Commit/Commit and Push.

Sadly, Google searches have so far not been very helpful to me, so if any of you could help me out, i would really appreciate it.

I have heard, however, that git might sometimes clash with Windows on changing the capitalization of file names. I do remember renaming my Utilities package to utilities and Adapters package to adapters. Could this be causing my problem and if so, how can i fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Try uncheck "Perform code analysis" in commit changes dialog. it worked for me.

Thanks! I will give it a try when i get the chance. Are you aware of any dangers or side effects of unchecking "Perform code analysis"? – Teun Kooijman Aug 04 '15 at 10:31
It didn't work right away, but i managed to solve it from there on out myself. I have posted an explanation below as an answer. – Teun Kooijman Aug 04 '15 at 12:08

Technically this works. But can anybody explain what are the risks or what assumes the uncheck of the "Perform code analysis" ?! – AlexAndro Nov 02 '15 at 16:35
It really works but why? :| how someone must guess this?! – Siavash Abdoli Dec 26 '15 at 12:19

This worked for me, will check files on github to verify. – wesley franks Jan 17 '16 at 04:36

@LaYer You´re a lifesaver man. Android SDK guys should really check this thing out... – stack man Apr 01 '16 at 11:01

As suggested by LaYer Sutachad, I attempted to Commit and Push with "Perform code analysis" unchecked in the Commit dialog. This, however, finally gave me a bunch of actual error messages in the form of:

Commit failed with error: pathspec 'f/Workspaces/AndroidStudio/ProjectName/app/src/main/java/com/ project/Utilities/PixelConverter.java' did not match any file(s) known to git.

After only a few Google Searches I found an answer to this problem provided by RacZo here. Which basically prompts to backup the problematic packages/files and re add them through Android Studio, adding them to Git in the process.

Thanks to LaYer Sutachad for pointing me in the right direction!

I was suffering from same problem. Initially i unchecked "Perform code analysis" in commit changes dialog. but it didn't worked for me so kept it as unchecked and proceed with "Invalidate cache & restart" from studio setting then it worked for me.
