GitHub - no changes seen after successful commit

Question

I'm struggling with an issue connected to GitHub. I've committed some changes using GitBash console and got an info that the push was successful and there's nothing to commit. When I went into logs, there was this particular log looking like this:

The issue is that when I go back into my GitHub account, I can see just an initial commit in there, nothing more.

And the console clearly says that the commit was successful.

Please help!

Answer 1

Git is a distributed version control system, so you have one local copy of the repository, Github has another copy. As far as git is concerned every copy is equally important.

For your changes to exist in Github, you have to push them there, with something like:

git push origin master

Try git remote -v to get more information on your tracked repositories. Github has some great help pages on this stuff.

Answer 2

For what you say in your question, I think you don't have actually pulled your local repository in your GitHub account. To do that, use git push origin master When you use git commit your changes are saved in your local repository, not in your remote (that in this case is GitHub)

Answer 3

Thanks to all that helped me understand my issue. Turns out the files did not copy between folders properly and that's why there're not changes detected on git. Now everything is working.

Thanks again!
