Git Shelf: Multiple Files with Tick Marks Are Not Shelved

Problem

When using the Git Shelve feature, users observe that only the first selected file is shelved even if multiple files are ticked in the interface (checkboxes next to them are checked).

Cause

This behavior occurs because the Git Shelve feature requires users to explicitly select files using the Ctrl/Cmd+Click method for multiple selections, rather than relying on checkboxes.

Resolution

To properly shelve multiple files:

1. Highlight the files to be selected for shelving using Ctrl+Click (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Click (Mac).
2. Proceed to shelve the highlighted files.
