I just swapped over to git-backed setup today. I did the following:
Create workspace ‘Workspace 1’ from a git repo. Add 3 environments (Dev/QA/prod). Add a collection with some requests.
Create workspace ‘Workspace 2’ from a different git repo. Add 3 environments (Dev/QA/Prod). Add a collection with some requests.
Now at the top of postman, change your workspace between workspace 1 and workspace 2 a few times. Every other swap it’s duplicating my environments in the left side pane. I see dev/qa/prod, then swap to 2 and back to 1, and now I see dev/dev/qa/qa/prod/prod. Swap twice again and now I see 9! Keep going and add 3 every time.
The “bad” ones show up both in the left side pane and also in the top right environment selector.
Restarting Postman fixes the problem.
Using latest Postman desktop for windows 12.7.4.
Hey @donmicrotypeio 
Welcome to the Postman Community! 
Are you able to provide some visual examples of what you’re seeing in the UI please? 
Hi @danny-dainton , here’s a screenshot of the duplication.
Thanks for sharing.
What do those look like in the local folder?
If you click the folder icon at the top of the sidebar and navigate to the ’postman/environments’ dir - do these dup files all have the same name as the original?
Nope, those are just fine. There are 3 files in that folder.
The steps again to set this up (roughly) are:
- Create a new workspace, make it git backed.
- Add 3 environments - dev/qa/prod
- Create a second new workspace, again git backed.
- Add the same 3 environments - dev/qa/prod.
- Now use the Workspaces dropdown in the title bar (upper left area) to change back and forth between those a few times. You’ll see the environments duplicate.
FWIW, last week when I posted this I would get 3, then 6, then 9, then 12. Today I’m trying and I only get 6 and it stops duplicating more.
