Why isn't my remote git repository picking up the changes that I'm pushing to it?

Question

Here's what I've done:

1 - (Remote server)

• git init
• git add .
• git commit -a -m "Initial Commit"

2 - (Local computer)

• git clone root@URL:/path/to/repository

• Now I type: git log and successfully see the commit history on my local machine:

• Great, all is well so far. Now to change a file locally... I change resource/templates/default_site/_includes.group/header.html and hit Save

• I now hit git status just to triple check that it sees that I changed a file, and it works:

• I now hit git commit -a -m "Test commit" - success once again:

• All is well so far, time to push my changes to the remote server with git push origin master:

• So it seems to think that it pushed the changes to the remote branch successfully. Let me make sure by going back to the remote server...

3 - (Back on remote server)

• I check if it has the latest commit from my local repository with git log -- and I can very clearly see my test commit from a second before. So it successfully commited from my local repo -> the remote repo...

  

• But if I open up resource/templates/default_site/_includes.group/header.html on the remote server, my change ISN'T in there!

What am I doing wrong here? Your help is appreciated!

Answer 1

You seem to have done everything except checkout the changes from your remote's repo to your remote's working directory.
