Sounds like you might need to increase the project scan frequency. In 8.1 the default is 5 minutes, which isn’t really suitable if you’re trying to use git.

In ignition.conf you can add JVM arg to the additional parameters section:

```auto
-Dignition.projects.scanFrequency=10

```

Would set the frequency to 10 seconds.
