Why is git ignoring my changed file?

Question

I make an arbitrary change to a file within my git working directory.

git status does not recognized that the file has changed.

git add /path

Answer 1

if your file is in the 'Changes to be committed' bucket then git already recognized the change and is going to commit it! Its in the index already. Otherwise it would be in the 'Changed but not updated' bucket.
