@srikanth-padmanabhuni thanks for the update. I believe what you are running into is related to filemode changes, similar to https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4953.

Does running the command git status --untracked-files=all --branch --porcelain=2 show any output?

You can also force Git to ignore filemode changes by running the following command:

git config core.filemode false

Let me know if it helps.
