git push says everything up to date when it definitely is not
- by Wolf
I have a public repository. No one else has forked, pulled, or done anything else to it. I made some minor changes to one file, successfully committed them, and tried to push. It says 'Everything up-to-date'. There are no branches. I'm very, very new to git and I don't understand what on earth is going on.
git remote show origin tells me:
HEAD branch: master
Remote branch:
master tracked
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
Any ideas what I can do to make this understand that it's NOT up to date?
Thanks
Updates:
git status:
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# histmarkup.el
# vendor/yasnippet-0.6.1c/snippets/
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
git branch -a:
* master
remotes/origin/master
git fsck:

Update 2: I re-opened the modified file, and the modifications I KNOW I had made were gone. So I added them again, went through the rigamarole of git status, git add filename, git commit -m "(message)", and git push origin master, and all of a sudden it works the way it's supposed to.
