cannot see the local commits on git status

Help, please ~

I encountered a question that I cannot see the local commits on git status after i add&commit my files,

$ git status
# On branch gh-pages
nothing to commit, working directory clean

as we know, normally I should see a message on git status, for example,

# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
# nothing to commit, working directory clean

now there is no (use "git push" to publish your local commits) message to remind me.

But I can push them on github successfully,

$ git push
Username for 'https://github.com': <hidden>
Password for 'https://<hidden>@github.com':

When you switch from master to gh-pages, is it telling you its up to date with origin/gh-pages ?

If not, have you set up an upstream branch tracking? if its a new branch do 

git push -u origin gh-pages

Keep in mind that message only shows when your local branch is either ahead or behind remote branch, (when doing git status), when you switch from a branch to another it should tell you if it's behind, ahead, or even.

git status will not show you commits

Use git log for that.
