Changes not staged for commit git

Question

I'm trying to commit my changes to the git but i have this message saying Changes not staged for commit:. Before, the command that I always used is git add-commit -m "message" but now i don't know what syntax used now in this version of git which is git version 2.15.0. I looked for the documentation in the git website but no luck. Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Break down the steps to properly understand what is happening inside the hood.

Step 1:

 ## Add your modified files to stage area using,
 git add -u

Step 2:

 ## Commit/Take snapshot your modified files with message on the staging area
 git commit -m "Add php and bash file payroll"

Step 3:

 ## Push your changes to remote branch using,
 git push 

Answer 2

Either 1) Use the -a flag for auto add:

git commit -am "your message"

or 2)

git add --all then git commit -m "Your message"
