I do commits into the local repo and it works fine. But when I push to the remote repo it fails:
$ git push origin master
Everything up-to-date
Linux writes 'Everything up-to-date' but in remote repo on github (successfully plugged in with SSH keys) there is only 11 days old stuff. What's wrong?
here is the previous output after commit (ci = "commit -a")
$ git ci

Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 28 commits.
Make sure you are not in a detached HEAD situation, by checkout the result of git branch and git status.
A detached HEAD wouldn't be pushed, which would explain the "Everything up-to-date" message.
If it is, see "How to move master to HEAD?" for master:
git branch -f master HEAD
git checkout master
Or see other suggestions at "How to I “move” my commits from “no branch” to an actual branch?".
Considering that you are pushing explicitly master (git push origin master), you wouldn't need git checkout master.
But if you want to do other commits on top of master, then it is important that your current branch be master (and not directly a commit like before, as a "detached HEAD").
Hence the git checkout master.
