This will be my first git use. I have added new files ( a lot ) to the folder/project ( git local repository).
I went through online tutorials and forums and see i can do
git commit -a
So I go to the base folder of the repository and do a
sudo git commit -a
But then, some screens comes up and asks me to add a comment which i do. i do not know how to proceed or exit. I do not want to mess up so i did ctrl + Z and did not do anything.
Can you guys please outline the commands I need to use?
git commit -a
and
git push?
To add all the changes you've made:
git add .
To commit them:
git commit -m "MY MESSAGE HERE" #-m is the message flag
You can put those steps together like this:
git commit -a -m "MY MESSAGE HERE"
To push your committed changes from your local repository to your remote repository:
git push origin master
You might have to type in your username/password for github after this. Here's a good primer on using git. A bit old, but it covers what's going on really well.
