The commit button in EGit has mysteriously been greyed-out. It was working just fine a few days ago. Does anyone know how to fix this. I haven't found any clues on Google. I'd include a screenshot, but I don't have enough reputation points yet.

  • Have you checked permissions on the repository (especially the .git folder and it's contents)? – Romain Nov 10 '11 at 15:56

    Had this problem before, i guess it has multiple causes, try cleaning your project or restart eclipse.. – Rob Nov 10 '11 at 15:58
  • Rob - Clean didn't work, but thanks for the suggestion. – HappyCoder86 Nov 10 '11 at 16:24

    Romain - I discovered that if I go through the "Git Repositories" view, I can commit. So I don't think it's a permissions related problem. Now that I figured out that I can commit using this method, this isn't nearly as big of a problem for me. – HappyCoder86 Nov 10 '11 at 16:26
  • Have you been able to solve this problem? I ran into the same issue (see linked question). – OBu Sep 23 '13 at 22:41
  • I had the same issue after a conflict after a pull. I had my changes stashed, pulled, and then the unstash resulted in a conflict. Egit now (wrongly) wants you to commit all involved files in a single commit. So when I added all the files, it was no longer greyed out. – Albert Hendriks Aug 04 '15 at 12:42

I had this issue and found that I had unstaged changes after a remote fetch and merge. After moving the unstaged changes to Git Staging the "Commit" button was enabled.

I was running into the same problem and finally managed to solve it as follows:

Since everything was working before I added the remote host, amd everything worked in my small toy project, I removed and re-added my remote host using gut bash:

git remote remove origin

git remote add origin git@my_servername:my_repository.git

After that, Egit worked as expected.

Try reassigning the remote origin using eclipse.If still not working, move all your files from unstaged to staging.Then the commit message will be enabled

I my case it was because of an unresolved conflict
