Hi I must confess that I'm completely unable to work with git. As git is a widely used tool it is certainly my problem. After many hours just to be able to perform first instructions in develop file specially because I tried to read a git instruction to do a new branch but always get the info not a git repository. Only after many hours I conclude that was my local folder that was not a git and not the remote plplot site. so I made a clone git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/plplot/plplot SourceforgePlplot ~/SourceforgePlplot> git checkout -b QtIssues Switched to a new branch 'QtIssues' changed the file qt.cpp git commit On branch QtIssues Changes not staged for commit: modified: drivers/qt.cpp no changes added to commit no clue what to do next.
Hi António: I like to use the subject line "git blog" for git questions. So I have changed to that. The short answer to your question is use "git status" to find out what is possible to do with your files under git. In this case you want to stage your changed files for commit so use "git add" to do that before you execute "git commit". To give someone who is just getting started with git some good background, I recommend reading the the first chapter of <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2> in its entirety. In particular, <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository> answers your question above with more background than I have given.
