Adding and Committing files

Create File

Create the file that will be used within your project.

git add .

This will add all modified and new files into the staging area.

git commit -m "changed feature-x in file-x"

This will add a message to your staged file.

The next thing you will need have an understand of is how to add and commit files

This means that you propose a change by adding it to the Index tree from the Working Directory tree, to do this use the command

git add 'filename' to add a specific file git add . to add all changes

This is the first step in a basic git workflow, the next step is to commit these changes to the Head tree. To do this use

git commit -m "commit message"

A good commit message is no longer than 72 characters long, but includes all changes that are being committed.
