Visual studio git commands

Question

I am using Visual Studio git for some time and trying to work with git commands now

I am wondering what are the underlying git commands for the below commands in Visual Studio

Does anyone have any idea of what the underlying commands are?

Let's say I want to commit with the message, I am trying

git commit -a "sample message"

However, it is throwing an error saying that my branch is ahead of the master branch by 4 commits.

But if I click on Commit All, it is committing. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Try to use 2 commands.

1. git add .
2. git commit -m "sample message"

So, you wrote some your code, then you need to execute command: " git add. " - stages your changes to the "temporary storage" before do commit. Then, you can do simple commit via: " git commit -m "sample message" ". And it is done.

Best regards
