Intellij Idea dont detect local changes of non code files - intellij-idea

I cloned the my repo from github using Idea and i have modified some sources files and push them into git. But when i modify a file in another folder inside of the project, idea don't detect the change and this file is important for the project.
My project structure folder is something like:
-Project_main_folder/
----Game/
--------src/
------------main.java
------------other_java_files
--------libs/
----db/
--------database.sql
And when i modify the database.sql (for example), idea dont detect it changes. How can i make it detect it and upload it to github??
Thanks c:

how to show original file structure in intellij?

I imported seldon-core to intellij, which tried to separate the files to different projects automatically.
How to disable this? I need to view all the files in original/same structure with the git repo, like:
Thanks
UPDATE
It STILL DOES NOT work now even I did the following:
When importing project, we need choose Project format as .ipr (file based).
Then, we need select Project Files
Have you tried switching between the options under projects? There is an option with project files
Project Files shows the exact file structure as your git repo.

IntelliJ IDEA - Directories appearing in Project Files but not in Project

So I created an empty project, but when I create a new directory in the Project window, it does not show up. The directory is actually created, and if I navigate to the Project Files list I can see it there, but as far as I can tell there is no way to make even my src folder part of the actual project. This creates all kinds of problems when I have to move/refactor files, and I'm amazed that something so common and simple is so difficult.
You've created a folder, not a package. If ur using maven or grade, can I suggest u use them to generate an intelij project for you. The command escapes me but a quick Google should tell you
You can manually mark your directory as a sources root:

How not to stage renamed files automatically

When I rename a class, which rename files, in intellij it automatically stage the renamed files in git.
I'd like that intellij stop doing that. Does anyone know if and how to change this automatic behavior?
Note:
I've got intellij configure such that when I create a new file it asks if it should add it to git. Such as described here: Can Intellij Idea automatically stage changes
But when renaming a class/file it doesn't ask anything

How to version control with IntelliJ

I'm looking for a way to control versions of my project through IntelliJ. However, I know Git can manage it the best way and I already did started experiencing Git with the help of Madara Uchiha's Git tutorial. I must say it is incredibly useful, but I rather have version control arranged on my harddrive which is constantly backed up.
I decided doing my version control manually and it's pretty slow and annoying. Is there an easier and more efficient way to clone the current project files in another folder?
For example, clone the current project files on another folder named v1.4.2 outside my project structure without relocating my project files, also having them refactored as project on its own so they be runnable whenever.
Set up a local Git repository for the project. It will start with a master branch. Then create a working branch that you make your changes in. You can merge this branch back in to master as you are ready. You can create as many branches as you need and switch between them very quickly. All using the one directory.
If you are new to git you can use something like Sourcetree - (a GUI for Git) it will allow you to manage the repository. It makes it really fast to switch between branches of your repository. It also helps with pushing changes to another location. GitHub, Bitbucket, etc.
For backup, you could always set up the project on Bitbucket. You can create public and private repositories for free. I really recommend setting this part up.
Depending on the environment that you are building on, you could build a shell script / batch script that would copy files to the duplicate location. Without knowing what type of project you are developing in/for it is hard to say what would be the best strategy.
Ideally if your project has a build output you could have the compiler/IntelliJ IDEA place the results into your result folder. You could then copy the results to your Builds/v1.4.2 folder or wherever. Whether you check in the files that are built will depend on your project. You can always exclude files/folders like your ../Builds that you don't want to track via your .gitignore file.

How do I commit my IntelliJ IDEA Global Library configuration into source code control?

I have IntelliJ IDEA 13.1 running on a number of machines, all with identical paths for the project and modules but different local user names. The .idea directory gets committed to the git repo. When I make changes to my Global Libraries those are not reflected on the other machines because that info is in
C:\Users\user\.IdeaIC13\config\options\applicationLibraries.xml
I want changes to Global Library settings to be required only once and applied everywhere.
Should I tell IDEA to look for applicationLibraries.xml under the .idea directory instead of in the local user's directory which is not under version control? how?
Solution was to go into Project Structure, right click on each Global Library and choose "Copy To Project Libraries..." then remove the original from Global Libraries. Then in each project remove the old global library and add the newly created project library. This way library data is stored in the .idea dir and not the user's dir.
The applicationLibraries.xml file, among others, are stored in a platform-dependent folder in the repo, for example in _linux or _windows. If this is your problem, read on.
For things like keymaps this is wanted because things work differently after all, but for libraries which either only contain jars, or contain binaries (dll/so) for all platforms, this is unwanted.
On the PC with the global libraries (assuming linux for now):
Copy the file from config/settingsRepository/repository/_linux to _windows,
Execute git add _windows/applicationLibraries.xml from the command line,
Restart IntelliJ,
Merge repo (not Overwrite remote)
This solved it for me, and now I have global libraries on all my computers, and not just my linux computers.
