This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
STR: 1) Create a project in NetBeans 2) In shell (outside NetBeans), run e.g. git init 3) Go back to NetBeans, right-click the project -> Versioning This menu is missing something to re-scan the project for versioning. There's only "Import/Initialize ..." which is not what's needed. It's quite often case that users import/checkout projects in command line. Even closing and re-opening the project does not help. User needs to delete the cache in ~/.netbeans/var ! Thanks for considering.

should work in 7.4, can you try? fixed as part of core-main #472dd31d7f51, external git init should be recognized now and the IDE should recognize the project as a git one. So there is no need for such an action
