git commit -m vs. git commit -am

Question

Seems easy but I just don\'t get it. I am in the root of my application.

Here is my workflow.

git add .
git commit -m \"added a new feature some files ch         


        

Answer 1

I would suggest, if you only changed one file then you might do something like this:

git add "Your_file.txt"
git commit -m "added a new feature in a file"
git push heroku master

Or if you changed multiple files then you could do something like this:

git add .
git commit -m "some files changed"
git push heroku master

Similarly, you could add and commit all the files on one line with this command:

git commit -am "added a new feature some files changed"
git push heroku master
