    <p>See below the solid line for my original question.</p> <p>I have a folder in my local directory that is untracked. When I run <code>git status</code>, I get:</p> <pre><code>Changed but not updated: modified: vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2 (modified content, untracked content) </code></pre> <p>When I type <code>git add vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2</code> then try <code>git status</code> again, it still says untracked. What's going on? </p> <hr> <p>Here is a simple summary of my latest half hour:</p> <ul> <li><p>Discovered that my Github repo is not tracking my <code>vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2</code> plugin. Specifically, there's no content and it's showing a <b>green arrow</b> on the folder icon.</p></li> <li><p>Tried <code>git submodule init</code></p> <pre><code>No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2' </code></pre></li> <li><p>Tried <code>git submodule add git://github.com/korin/open_flash_chart_2_plugin.git vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2</code></p> <pre><code>vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2 already exists in the index </code></pre></li> <li><p><code>git status</code> </p> <pre><code>modified: vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart_2 (untracked content) </code></pre></li> <li><p>Hunted for any file named <code>.gitmodules</code> in my repository/local directory but couldn't find one.</p></li> </ul> <p>What do I have to do to <b>get my submodules working</b> so git can start tracking properly?</p> <hr> <p>This may be unrelated (I include it in case it helps), but every time I type <code>git commit -a</code> rather than my usual <code>git commit -m "my comments"</code>, it throws up an error:</p> <pre><code>E325: ATTENTION Found a swap file by the name ".git\.COMMIT-EDITMSG.swp" dated: Thu Nov 11 19:45:05 2010 file name: c:/san/project/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG modified: YES user name: San host name: San-PC process ID: 4268 While opening file ".git\COMMIT_EDITMSG" dated: Thu Nov 11 20:56:09 2010 NEWER than swap file!

[O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (D)elete it, (Q)uit, (A)bort: </code></pre> <p>I am a complete newbie at Github and despite trying to go through the documentation, I'm a bit stumped by these particular problems. Thank you.</p>

    1. COI'm confused about a few things. One: why do you keep saying github? everything you're talking about sounds local (except that green arrow - I know nothing about that). Is that right, or is this a question about pushing updates to github? Two: have you actually done anything to create this plugin as a submodule? A submodule is a git repository in its own right. You create it separately, then add it into the superproject.

    2. COHm, the output of git status suggests that there is indeed a submodule there... but you really don't have a .gitmodules file? Honestly, if this plugin has its own repo, and you know what version of it you want, you could just remove that directory from your project, make sure there's no entry in .gitmodules, and go through the submodule setup: `git submodule add`, `git submodule update --init`.

    3. COJefromi - I haven't actually mentioned Github more than twice - the first time is because the green arrow appears on top of the yellow folder image in the actual Github repository for open_flash_chart_2. I'll happily edit the answer to make it clearer.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
