Hi All,
so after fixing "git remote get-url origin" to fail over to "git remote show origin | filter and munge" the culture shock of "git commit -a" (git commit does nothing ?!?!?)
"git commit" will commit anything that has been "git add"ed to the index. -a is a convenience to automatically stage files that have been modified.
What I don't understand is how, or indeed why, one stages modified files. I get that adding files requires informing git. But why doesn't "git commit" commit modified files by default? Why do I have to use git commit -a to include modified files?
HTH, Alistair
