GitHub for Windows not recognizing new files

Question

I have a repo to which I have been adding and updating code on a regular basis for the last few months. I just created two new java files. I did a github commit and sync. I noticed on github.com the files did not show up. I then noticed they do not appear on GitHub Windows. I then created more files and they do not appear in in GitHub either.
Other pre-existing files that have been modified, correctly appear in GitHub and are updated.

I have tried:

• Looked at .gitignore.
  The path or filenames do not appear in the file.
  

• Looked at .git/info/exclude. File is empty.

• git status says:

  On branch master
  Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
  nothing to commit, working directory clean

• In git shell, ls shows the files in the directory
• However, git ls-files -v does not list the files.

How do I get github to start recognizing newly created files?

Answer 1

If you have untracked java files, try

git add *.java

Then git commit and push code to repo.....
