Why does 'git commit' not save my changes?

Question

I did a git commit -m \"message\" like this:

> git commit -m \"save arezzo files\"
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (u         


        

Answer 1

You didn't add the changes. Either specifically add them via

git add filename1 filename2

or add all changes (from root path of the project)

git add .

or use the shorthand -a while commiting:

git commit -a -m "message".
