The staging was the part I missed. It wasn't clear from the "git-commit" manual page at all that "git-add" is not about adding new files but queuing existing but modified files for upload. The -a with "commit" can skip that. git clone GITURL vi README.md git commit -a git push Thanks.

That is why you later need to make a *pull* request to the project developer/s to get them to fetch your code into their project and see what they think of it. Antony. -- Success is a lousy teacher.

You can do it individually: Add a files(s) to the repo: git add somefile.txt Commit that file git commit -m "A new file" somefile.txt (note you have to use git add if you don't use git commit -a) You can use wildcards with git add for multiple files/directories You can also do a few bits like this: To see your local changes: git diff To see your repo status: git status Have a hunt on the interwebs for a git cheatsheet and keep it to hand. I am no guru but these were the most important bits to get me going.

In my world, I'd never want to track all files in my development tree. Most are temporary shellscripts, code snippets to determine exact behavior, pseudo-data, etc. These are in no way necessary or adviseable for the end user to possess.

That's why you have .gitignore, and personally I would rarely use -a Was just trying to illustrate usage, and hence I added 'individual files' :-) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
