The last 5 or 10 sessions, whenever I go to start source control (Source Control > Create Working Copy), I'm prompted by a message "All projects are already under source control." For each of these projects that this message popped up on, I went to the directory of the session in Terminal and ran ls -a to check for hidden files and see if .git files really existed. I did this in the directory the Xcode sessions are located and went back one folder at a time, checking each folder for .git files as well, but none of the parent directories have .git files either. The only way I can get Xcode to start source control is if I use terminal to make the first git commit: git init git add . git commit -m "Initial Commit." This never used to happen before, I used to always be able to start source control through Xcode. Then I can use Xcode source control after. Anyone know of a fix? On OS 10.12.3 and Xcode 8.2.1

This did not solve the issue for me. – JosephTLyons Feb 15 '17 at 02:18

If your current file is not under version control (no `.git` folder), for the first time, you should use git command to initial a git repo (as the way you used). – Marina Liu Feb 15 '17 at 06:11

The message All projects are already under source control, means the project has already controled by git (.git folder in the same path or as the parent path of the). So what you need to do for the project in xcode is to commit/pull/push. Or you can config the project by source control -> project (usually above create working copy item) -> configure git.
If you want add a file in the same git repo, you should add a file in the path same as .git or it's sub-path, then in xcode -> source control -> commit -> select the file you added -> commit.
If you want to do source control for another project, you should close the current project, and then reopen xcode with another project.

1I do not see the `create working copy` under the source control. In the Create Git Repositories: All projects are already under source control. – Cons Bulaquena Mar 11 '18 at 10:04
