I'm getting this issue when I try to push to GitHub from Visual Studio Mac Version 8.10.14(build 17). Anyone know what is causing the issue?

I assume it is not passing in the name of the branch I want to commit to(I'm trying to commit to the master branch) when I click on it in the menu, which would make sense because I'm having a visual bug along with it.

This is not a parameter that is part of my code, it's a parameter from Visual Studios.

Here are screenshots of what it looks like:

When I first click on "Review and Commit" this screen appears. Normally this shows all the changes I have made, and shows "master" in the Branch parameter. For some reason this screen is appearing blank(which it normally doesn't)

When I click on the Branch dropdown, it shows the Master option, and then all my changes show up like so:

But then when I click "push changes" I get the "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: localBranch" error, as if I had not chosen "master" as the branch to choose to.

Anyone know what is causing this bug?

For testing, switch back to command line and do a git status in the local root folder of your repository.

The goal is to check if you are working indeed on the master branch, or if you see a "detached HEAD" status, in which case you see to get back on a branch, as shown here.

I'm not sure what the actual issue was, so please let me know if any finds out, but I was able to fix the issue by resetting everything. I had to completely delete the local project and delete and reinstall Visual Studios.

I just copied the changes that I needed to keep into separate files and copied and pasted them back in once I pulled from the git repository(luckily it was only a few files that hadn't been updated before all the issues started happening)

Please let me know if someone determines what actually caused the issue so I can avoid it in the future.

Just answering this in case someone comes across with the same issue.
