Try running git init in the root of the project. Otherwise, consider providing a git repo that reproduces the issue and we can take a look for you.

OK, but you could still try running git init in the root of the project. Otherwise, consider providing a git repo that reproduces the issue and we can take a look for you.

I setup project from fresh (Vite, TailwindCSS, React) -> Tailwind work but no utilities classes
After run git init -> utilities classes work

Magic?

You may have some .gitignore (or equivalent) in the file system above the project root. Tailwind's automatic scanner uses git ignore rules to determine what files to scan. When you initialize a repo with git init, this creates a "boundary" to stop Tailwind's scanner from searching above the project root for git ignore rules.

Is "git init" required when using the TailwindCSS v4 Vite plugin?
