File not found on Git

I’m in the process of learning Git and also struggling with the Mac Terminal (I recently change OS)

I successfully installed Git in my computer and I was able to push my project to Github but now I’m not able to add the same file(index.html) I was working on to my next commit and get the fallowing error: 

fatal: pathspec 'index.html' did not match any files

index.html is in the same folder so I must have changed the git setup but I don’t know how to reestablish what I had.

Is this something I can fix using git config, do I need to include the path to the file?

If I type git status , I get the following which isn't right. 

On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

Git (as many other tools, indeed) excpect you to provide the right path:

git add Documents/first_git_project/index.html #if you're in the project root folder
