Add another file

Repeat the process with another new file

Create a new file

Let us create a file called second.txt with one line in it, in the same directory as before and check the status now:

C:\...\GitExperiments\FirstDemo> ls


    Directory:
    C:\Users\ravi_\Source\repos\Experiments\GitExperiments\FirstDemo


Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                 -------------         ------ ----
-a----   Sat  04-02-2023  10:38 AM              6 hello.txt
-a----   Sat  04-02-2023  11:46 AM             10 second.txt

C:\...\GitExperiments\FirstDemo> git status

On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        second.txt

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

We can see that Git only shows the untracked files and nothing about the committed files!

Commit the new file

We can add all (untracked) files in one shot and then commit as follows

git add .
git commit -m "second file added"

[master 299930d] second file added
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 second.txt

git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean
