GitHub desktop stuck on syncing?
<p>I'm trying out GitHub desktop for windows. I downloaded it from <a href="https://desktop.github.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://desktop.github.com/</a>. Logged in with my GitHub credentials and created a git repository locally with the +, create and added the path to the project on my local machine that I wanted to initiate as a git repository. I added the node_modules to the .gitignore file and had 16 files left which I wrote a "summary" message for and pressed the "commit to master" button. It now says "no changes" so I pressed "publish" which I read should give me the option to create a public or private repository. But instead I just see "syncing" which never stops nor upload anything to my GitHub account. </p>

<p>I then had to close the desktop app to make it stop. Next I tried to create an empty repository on GitHub and add the ssh then the https address to repository settings/remote (according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35578258/github-desktop-not-able-to-publish">Github Desktop: Not able to publish</a>) but the same thing happened again.</p>

<p>I have also tried 'git sync' with git shell (according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34005958/github-desktop-sync-spins-indefinitely">Github desktop sync spins indefinitely</a>), which works in the shell but it does not fix the GitHub Desktop app; next time I tried pressing the sync button it just keeps spinning.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea?</p>
