git is ignoring the 'git add' command'

I'm on windows 10 and I'm trying to add some changes to a file to a branch.

I'm going: 

git add aws_ec2_list_instances.py

And when I got git status nothing is added:

$ git status
On branch python
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   __pycache__/web_scraper.cpython-37.pyc
        modified:   __pycache__/web_scraper.cpython-38.pyc
        modified:   aws_s3_list_buckets.py
        modified:   web_scraper.py

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        ../../output_files/
        aws_ec2_list_instances_old.py
        ../../source_files/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Doing a git add --all or git add --force gives the same result. Nothing is added!

If I list the directory aws_ec2_list_instances.py is there:

git ls-files
__pycache__/web_scraper.cpython-37.pyc
__pycache__/web_scraper.cpython-38.pyc
aws_ec2_list_instances.py
aws_s3_list_buckets.py
web_scraper.py

I'm on this version of git for windows: git version 2.24.1.windows.2

How can I solve this?

The file has changed. I tried putting in print('Test')` in the file and copied it several times and saved it.

Then you have tried to modified a different aws_ec2_list_instances.py, in a different path.
Double-check your editor (VSCode?) and see if:

  • the path is correct
  • the case is correct
  • it is able to actually save the file (which might refuse new modification if its handle is used by another Windows process)

Your file name doesn't seem to match the file names that needed to be added. If you want to add all your changes then just use git add . command

I would recommend installing github desktop. It is easy and more convenient to use than using the command line.
