GIT add or commit?

Question

We are working on a project as a team.

I have just cloned the project from github

I have the project on my computer - wamp .

I added a new file and I want to update my local .

I have used the git add xxx.php but the newly added file is still not visible to wamp/apache .

Do I need to commit to have this new file visible in wamp ?

Does using commit update the main project in github or just my clone?

Answer 1

You do need to do both git add and git commit to actually store changes in the repository. If you want to share those changes with others in another repository, you will also have to push your changes.

Please read about the basics of Git in the Git Book . Or check out some other tutorial.

Answer 2

Commit updates only your local repository. Push then propagates these updates from your local repository to the remote repository (github).
