'Git not working properly in Android studio, not showing changes for XML files
I have been having an issue, git does not recognize changes on any XML file on Android Studio, for example, androidManifest.xml, or any XML file on the res folder. I have used Android Studio as my Git client, I have changed it thinking that the problem was a bug on Android Studio, and now I am using GitHub Desktop, but the problem persists.
The problem is that any change I make to an XML file is not taken, so I keep losing time and work.
I have been looking for a solution, but I can't find a solution anywhere, any ideas?
This is an update of the initial post, I did nothing, just open the .gitignore file, which has only one line:
/build
Also, I opened the file .git/info/exclude, it has a few lines of comments, nothing else and that was it. Then I realized that the changes on every single XML file started to show on GitHub Desktop and also on Android Studio Git-client.

See what would be removed when cleaning up (dry run): git clean -ndX
There may be some .gitignore which lists *.xml; "search in files" helps.
