Re: the git add command

Hello there,

I recently made a change to a project, and for adding a file I changed
to the staging area I used the command 'git add ookleuk/admin.py'. At
this point I was logged into the parent directory of 'ookleuk' on the
command line. However, when I used the push command, I got the response
'everything up to date'. For now it isn't a problem, because when I used
the command 'git add .' everything worked fine and the files in the
repository got updated, but honestly, I want to be sure I'll be able to
only upload specific files in the future.

In this case you should better use git gui to add files. It allows not only to add
individual files quickly, but also add specific part of changes in a file, e.g. omit
leftover debug lines or changes related to another topic. Corresponding
command line tools like git add -p or git add -i are quite tedious to use.

A screenshot of the problem occurring on the command line is attached.
Holler if you need more info.

Greetings, Isaac
