Visual Studio not showing committed files in Solution Explorer

I have committed files in Visual Studio and pushed them to a repo on Github. Now i pulled the repo but the committed files do not show up in Solution Explorer but i can see the history of the commits in the Team Explorer window. I can browse the files but i have no idea why they are not part of the solutionenter image description here. I can open the file from history but it opens from some temporary location. I tried to revert to the last commit but still nothing shows up.

See the file extension of your files in gitignore, if they are there, remove it. then push again.

... Try the New Git user experience. In the “Tools” top level menu, select “Options…”. Under “Environment”, choose the “Preview Features” page. Check or uncheck the checkbox that says “New Git user experience”. This will add a new tool window, as well as functionality build around Git....

I got the same issue then I found that in my .csproj file, my compile link is missing. For example, you can find <Compile Include="Folder\YourCommittedFileLink.cs"/>. If it doesn't exist, that's the reason why your Solution Explorer doesn't find it. Add it manually in your .csproj file and then Reload your Solution Explorer. Finally, commit this .csproj file also.

If you have the files on the branch (remote, local), go on that branch (if is local the files should be visible in solution explorer), if is remote branch, pull to the latest, re include those files in projects via solution explorer (click show all files, add one by one right click -> add in project).

Edit gitignore file, recommended visual studio Git ignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore, you can search for windwos forms recommend git ignore.

Close the solution, Reopen solution, Commit (push) .csproj, .sln files on the remote branch.
