If you encounter a problem
First, try to reset Crafty by reseting the Unity Layout. Go into Window -> Layouts -> Choose a layout.
If that doesn't work, please write me an email and I'll be glad to have a look.
If someone in your team manages the Git repository or is knowledgeable with Git, another option is to ask him to check what is going on. Maybe the state of your local repository is in a weird state that Crafty cannot understand. Send him this page to help: https://crafty.creatiel.ca/technical_users
