Git add not adding files

git, git-add, git-commit

Solution

And you may also want to make sure you're in the root of your project. I had that problem for a while on a Rails project a while back & then realized I was in the `/config` directory. Whoops! #noobmistake

Problem

when I try to git add my files, I typed ``` git add <insert file names here> ``` That works correctly. However, when I try to do ``` git commit -a ``` My git repository tells me that it's empty. What is outputted is: ``` # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # <insert name of files here> nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) ``` Might anyone know the solution to this? Thanks.
