I have a bunch of colleagues who use the latest Git on macOS, so I expect it does work most of the time. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on here.

What exactly do you mean by "doesn't recognize any file changes"? Can you tell us what commands you ran and what you expected to see, and what you actually saw? That information would be helpful for us to track down what might be happening.

Also, are you using any specific workflow or tool that might be related? Are you using an editor integration or GUI, and if so, does this happen without that editor integration or GUI as well?
