I can't seem to commit anything to my new branch. When I try to commit it just says "no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")" When I try to do git add it doesn't seem to do anything. When I try to push it says "Everything up-to-date", but when I look at the branch on github my files aren't there. Strangely I was able to do everything fine with a different branch I created afterwards. -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Can-t-seem-to-commit-tp5803287p5803287.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ``` ## Andreas Schwab, 2010-12-04 16:57 Subject: Re: Can't seem to commit Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m2zkslbhmi.fsf%40igel.home In-Reply-To: <1291480384128-5803287.post@n2.nabble.com> ``` weloki writes: > There is probably an easy solution to this but I'm seeing something really > weird... > I can't seem to commit anything to my new branch.

If you are unsure what to do you should always try "git status" first.

One thing to check is where you're pushing to ("git remote show origin" should tell you). You may also want to check the value of "git config branch.master.merge", "git config remote.origin.url" and "git config push.default". For me these are refs/heads/master tracking Also on a very fresh repository you need to use "git push origin master:refs/heads/master" to create the master branch on the remote end. ```
