Was trying to commit some changes. I used git add to add any new javascript files that I may have created using the wildcard *.js. Then I committed changes and pushed to github:
git add *.js git commit -m "stuff" git push github master
When I checked github, all the files that I had been editing were blank. They were there, just empty.
I then tried to commit again, but GIT said that everything was up to date.
Then I went back and noticed that after I did git commit -m "stuff", GIT displayed a message saying that a bunch of my ".js" files were not staged even though I had just added them using the wildcard: git add *.js. This is the message that was displayed when I attempted to commit.
# On branch master # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add/rm ..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: src/static/directory1/js/module1/file1.js # modified: src/static/directory1/js/module1/file2.js # modified: src/static/directory1/js/module2/file1.js
In order to fix this I had to go down a few directories when doing my git add:
git add src/static/directory1/*.js
This seemed to worked, because the files were there after I committed again and then pushed to github:
git commit -m "stuff" git push github master
What was going on here, why did I have to navigate down a few directories to get the wild card to work?
Thanks!
