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 could have done a:

git add -u -n

To check which files you modified and are going to be added (dry run: -n option), and then

git add -u

To add just modified files
