在Windows上使用Git更新文件

Question

I recent installed Git and I'm trying to update a file using this command: (On windows 7)

git add Probe.txt

But it says " fatal: pathspec 'probe' did not match any files " I'm in the directory which the file is. In fact, if I try git status I get " modified: Probe.txt ".

How should I update my file?

Answer 1

try git add . which will add everything. Not sure why the specific filename isn't working, but this definitely should.

Answer 2

Looks like you're actually entering a space after "Probe" for some reason, observe:

~% cd /tmp
/tmp% mkdir foo
/tmp% cd foo
foo% git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/foo/.git/
foo% git add probe .txt
fatal: pathspec 'probe' did not match any files
foo%

I'm not on Windows at the moment but I think you can get the idea.

If you're pretty sure it's not the case, please re-try your command after setting

set GIT_TRACE=1

and update your question by the output of git add Probe.txt so we could guess further.
