Now that I’ve switched to using an external Git client (Fork), the behavior is different. When I add a new script file, I can see the file is created and marked with a “+” icon in TestComplete, meaning it’s new and tracked. However, unless I manually save the entire project, the Script.tcScript file does not get updated, so Git doesn’t detect any change in the project structure.

If you are using this client to perform your commits you will need to save the project before you commit.
