Mark files as changed without changing them

How to tell git that all files in a repository have changed, so I can commit and push them?

I have some component which automatically pulls git files and processes them, but only if they have changed (git status). How can I tell git that files have changed before committing and pushing them, without really changing them?

I don't want to add some spaces or some thing like that.

If you want to acheive it anyhow, try to push 2 commits to the remote.

first, remove all files from version control, make a commit, Then add all files again to the version control, make a commit and push

You can remove a file from vc by -

git rm --cached mylogfile.log

for files and

git rm --cached -r mydirectory

for directories

No, that will not be possible. It's not how git works.

Your current state of work is already actually stored in git when you commit everything you've changed, so I think you're misunderstanding how git works. Adding an "empty" commit does nothing that the previous one wouldn't do.
