Git push: "Everything up to date" even though changes have been committed

Disclaimer: I'm new to git, and it hasn't been a gentle learning process.

After I cloned a repository, I did the following: 

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/my_branch
git checkout my_branch

Then I made a few changes to my_file.txt and attempted to commit and push the changes:

git add my_file.txt
git commit -m "made some changes to my_file.txt"
git push

Unfortunately, every time I push I get the following message: 

Everything up-to-date

even though I committed my changes. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Hadn't set up my username with git, so it wasn't recognizing me. Was able to fix it with the following commands:

git config --global user.name "Name"
git config --global user.email "Email"

Check the result of git status, and git branch -avv in order to see the state of your current branch compared to its upstream counterpart.

A better approach, when using git checkout, would be:

git checkout -B my_branch --track origin/my_branch
# add, commit
git push
