What does “Changes not staged for commit” mean

Question

I thought if you want to track the files you should git add [files you want to track]

I don\'t know why I got the messages Changes not staged for com

Answer 1

when you change a file which is already in the repository, you have to git add it again if you want it to be staged.

This allows you to commit only a subset of the changes you made since the last commit. For example, let's say you have file a, file b and file c. You modify file a and file b but the changes are very different in nature and you don't want all of them to be in one single commit. You issue

git add a
git commit a -m "bugfix, in a"
git add b
git commit b -m "new feature, in b"

As a side note, if you want to commit everything you can just type

git commit -a

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Suposed you saved a new file changes. (navbar.component.html for example)

Run:

ng status
modified:   src/app/components/shared/navbar/navbar.component.html

If you want to upload those changes for that file you must run:

git add src/app/components/shared/navbar/navbar.component.html

And then:

git commit src/app/components/shared/navbar/navbar.component.html -m "new navbar changes and fixes"

And then:

git push origin [your branch name, usually "master"]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Or if you want to upload all your changes (several/all files):

git commit -a

And them this will appear "Please enter the commit message for your changes."

• You'll see this message if you git commit without a message (-m)
• You can get out of it with two steps:
• 1.a. Type a multi-line message to move foward with the commit.
• 1.b. Leave blank to abort the commit.
• 2. Hit "esc" then type ":wq" and hit enter to save your choice. Viola!

And then:

git push

And Viola!
