IntelliJ IDEA Force Push into GitHub

Question

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 14. I have a project in a local GIT directory, and I have a corresponding repository on GitHub. The project has about 100 files, but when I initially pushed into GitHub, only about 5 files made it up there. I now need to push the rest of the files into GitHub, but when I try to do that, IntelliJ keeps telling me "Nothing to Commit."

Is there an easy way to just select the project and push (forced or not) everything into GitHub?

Answer 1

Try to do it manually:

git push --force

If this does not work, check your .gitignore, maybe you are ignoring the most of the files.

Answer 2

"Nothing to commit" is a message that can appear when you're trying to commit, not push. To push the changes you've already committed, use the "Push Commits" dialog available as VCS | Git | Push...
